The Home Creative invites you to 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. On the other side of town, the Socs seem to have it made. They jump Greasers for kicks to pass the time of their privileged lives. Cherry, a Soc, shares a connection with Ponyboy due to his sensitive nature and love of poetry. A connection that her boyfriend, Bob, will not accept. What ensues is a gut-wrenching story of love and loss that comes to a head with the unforgettable line, "Stay gold, Ponyboy."

Reimagined for an intimate, immersive theater experience, Ponyboy, Johnny, and their gang of socially outcast Greasers come to life in this heart-warming production of The Outsiders!

Stay gold, Chicago!
