Sarasota High School Theatre presents "The Outsiders", a play adaptation on the novel by S.E. Hinton, on October 22, October 23, October 24 & October 25. Ponyboy Curtis is a teenager caught between two rival groups: the Greasers and the Socs. The Greasers, including Ponyboy and his brothers, come from the working class, while the Socs are wealthy and privileged. After a violent encounter leads to tragic consequences, Ponyboy and his friend Johnny go on the run, forcing them to confront hard truths about class, loyalty, and identity. As tensions escalate and more lives are affected, Ponyboy struggles to make sense of the world and find his place in it. This coming-of-age story is a powerful exploration of friendship, loss, and the enduring hope for understanding across divides. *Content advisory: The play is very true to the book, which was written for students in middle grades. This play contains themes that may be heavy for younger viewers (death, gang violence, loss, and substance use). We recommend children 12 and under be accompanied by an adult.
