Rate: CONTRACT Production (League) $2638 weekly minimum - rate beginning 9/30/2024 About the project: 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. Additional info: Lunch 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Please prepare a brief country, soul, rock, or folk song that shows range. Please bring a headshot and resume stapled together.
