Casting Teen Performers for "The Outsiders" Play
Looking for teen performers ages 13 and up for "The Outsiders" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Christopher Sergel’s play is a faithful adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s coming-of-age novel about rival teenage gangs in 1960s Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Greasers come from troubled working-class backgrounds, contrasted with the Socials, whose members are from upper-middle-class families. Like the novel, the play centers on 14-year-old Ponyboy Curtis, a member of the Greasers gang, as he recounts the violent aftermath after his friend Johnny fatally stabbed Socials member Bob. This adaptation places much of the violence off-stage and minimizes the strong language and mature content of the novel and movie, making it a fitting choice for high school productions. The characters are crafted with compassion and nuance, offering opportunities for rich character study and conversations about violence and social status. Additional info: Callbacks: Nov.7 at 7 pm. Please download the attachment for details. When applying, please email video auditions.
