THE OUTSIDERS
THE OUTSIDERS is a story about class, broken homes, protecting one’s turf, and the all-too-real American condition known as the “Haves and Have Nots.” It is a world of kids of every sort, from destitute outlaws, gas station workers, and high school dropouts (the Greasers), to the very well appointed, college-bound, and wealthy (the Socs). This is Tulsa 1967, where to be a Soc means to be rich and white. To be a Greaser is to be poor, rejected by the Haves because of any number of facets: economic status, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity and any other facet that Tulsa Soc Society deems as other. The Greasers are a group of boys who have created a chosen family that reflects the true diversity of Tulsa.
GREASERS/MALE-PRESENTING ENSEMBLE - All vocal types, real people with Americana/Rock sound, to play Greasers & other featured parts. Able to execute athletic movement and fight choreography. The Greasers can be Black, Indigenous, Latine, API, MENASA or Mixed. Will understudy the role of “Johnny Cade”– Johnny Cade- 16 but looks younger. Ponyboy’s best friend, the smallest and most vulnerable of the Greasers. Sensitive and loyal, suffers from PTSD from abuse at home and on the streets, he has found family in the Greasers. Has a special connection with Dallas Winston, outsiders among outsiders.
SOCS/MALE-PRESENTING ENSEMBLE - All vocal types, real people with Americana/Rock sound, to play Socs & other featured parts. Able to execute athletic movement and fight choreography. The Socs can be White. May understudy one or more of the following roles:
Sodapop Curtis- 17, the middle Curtis brother. Charismatic, compassionate, exceptionally handsome, and a high-school drop-out, he now works at the local gas station. Ponyboy's security blanket at home. Privately nursing a broken heart but hides it well and deflects so he doesn't have to take anything too seriously. The beating heart of the Curtis boys.
Bob - 17/18, White. The leader of the Soc’s, Tulsa Society's golden boy. Cocky, charming, dazzling, a natural leader. Has the whole world by the tail. Cherry's boyfriend and the captain of the football team. Comes from extreme privilege, he doesn't take no for an answer. Expresses his rage and repressed emotions through violence and bullying.
Paul - 20, White. Physically intimidating, he was the best receiver on his high school football team and went on to play college ball. Bob's best friend and 2nd in command. Buries his fears and insecurities under a mask of confidence and self-assurance. Used to be best friends with Darrell, he got to have the future Darry dreamed of. Quiets his own demons by wailing on Greasers.
