Beloved by fans all over the world, The Outsiders comes to Kearney. You’ve read the book. You’ve seen the film. Now experience the story that defined a generation like never before, live onstage. Go back in time to Tulsa, Oklahoma in the 1960s for this coming-of-age story told by fourteen-year-old Ponyboy Curtis. The youngest of the Greasers, Ponyboy struggles to find his place amongst his fellow outcasts. Territorial battles between the have-it-made rich kids – the Socs – and Ponyboy’s tough, underprivileged “greaser” family and friends are just a part of life. But even in the midst of urban gang warfare, somehow Ponyboy can’t forget a short poem that speaks to their fragile young lives. The Outsiders is a heroic story of friendship, family, belonging… and the powerful reminder that there is still “lots of good in the world.”
