Note: The sound of The Outsiders is a blend of folk, soul, southern rock, blues, with some elements of early country, hints of bluegrass and church revival. This is not a twangy score (no need to portray an accent while singing), not a hoedown or a hootenanny, but more of a celebration of Americana, traditions around acoustically driven, sincere, soulful, visceral human expression. Authenticity is key, as this should not feel like something put on, but the truest expression of these characters' emotional lives. For these reasons, we are interested in unique and eclectic voices to comprise our company. For some stylistic references, here is a playlist featuring artists such as Bonnie Raitt, The Band, Bill Withers, and more.

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.
SEEKING:
Ensemble: All vocal types, real people with Americana/Rock sound. Greasers & Socs and other featured parts. All are able to execute athletic movement and fight choreography.
