‘The Outsiders’ | Pali High
Performances of “The Outsiders” will continue at Palisades Charter High School from Thursday, November 14, to Saturday, November 16.
The show, which opened as the school’s fall play on Thursday, November 7, is adapted by Christopher Sergel from the S.E. Hinton book.
“The story deals with real people, seen through the eyes of young Ponyboy, a Greaser on the wrong side of life, caught up in territorial battles between the have-it-made rich kids—the Socs—and his tough, underprivileged ‘greaser’ family and friends,” read a synopsis. “While the Socs appear to have everything, the only thing a Greaser has is his friends. This is a play about young people who are not yet hopeless about latent decency in the midst of struggle.”
Performances will take November 14, 15 and 16 at 7 p.m. in Mercer Hall. Tickets are available for $10 for students and $17 for general admission at gofan.co/app/school/CA18976. A VIP preferred seating ticket is available for $25.
