The Outsiders
.
directed by Bre Allard
This season, MYT ventures into powerful dramatic territory with The Outsiders, a gripping and heartfelt story that challenges our teenage actors to bring raw emotion and truth to the stage.
Step into the turbulent 1960s with The Outsiders, a gripping stage adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s groundbreaking novel about friendship, identity, and the fight to belong. In a world divided between the working-class “Greasers” and the privileged “Socs,” 14-year-old Ponyboy Curtis struggles to make sense of loyalty, loss, and what it really means to be an outsider.
Filled with heart, emotional depth, and unforgettable characters, The Outsiders captures the timeless spirit of teenage rebellion and brotherhood. This powerful coming-of-age drama reminds us that no matter which side of town you’re from, we all share the same hopes, fears, and dreams.
