SYNOPSIS: 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.

The above may understudy the following principal roles:
PONYBOY CURTIS- 15, A dreamer with a cowboy spirit. Our narrator and a budding writer finding his voice, can be vulnerable when speaking to the audience. The youngest Greaser and youngest brother of three. Curious, introspective, a storyteller. Freshly orphaned and raw from the pain. Idolizes Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke and his individualism. A natural loner, he finds true friendship with Johnny Cade.
JOHNNY CADE- 16 but looks younger. Black, Indigenous, Latine, API, MENASA or Mixed. Ponyboy’s best friend, the smallest and most vulnerable of the Greasers. Sensitive and loyal, suffers from PTSD from abuse at home and on the streets, he has found family in the Greasers. Has a special connection with Dallas Winston, outsiders among outsiders.
DARREL CURTIS- 20. The oldest Curtis brother. Strong, athletic, intelligent, hardworking, strict. A former golden boy, his future was ripped away from him after his parents were killed in a tragic accident. Works two roofing jobs and has taken on the difficult task of raising and providing for his two younger brothers. Trying his best to keep it together but fraying at the edges under pressure from all sides. Sacrificed his future to give his brothers one. Incredible potential squashed by circumstance. Had to grow up too fast. Suffers no fools.
DALLAS “DALLY” WINSTON- 19, Black, Indigenous, Latine, API, MENASA or Mixed. Wily, rebellious, audacious, impulsive, and reckless. Sensual and single-minded. Fiercely loyal, brutally honest. The outlier of the Greasers, originally from New York’s Hell’s Kitchen. Cares deeply for Ponyboy and especially Johnny Cade, sees him as his little brother.
SODAPOP CURTIS- 17, the middle Curtis brother. Charismatic, exceptionally handsome, and a high-school drop-out, he now works at the local gas station. Ponyboy's security blanket at home. Privately nursing a broken heart but hides it well and deflects so he doesn't have to take anything too seriously.
SHERRY “CHERRY” VALANCE- 17, white. A dreamer. Confident, privileged, curious, open-minded. Has been conditioned to be what society expects her to be: Bob's Girlfriend and Captain of the Cheerleading team. Experiences an awakening once she meets Ponyboy and the other Greasers. Finds her courage. Displays tremendous compassion for the Greasers and Ponyboy in particular. Breaks the mold.
KEITH TWO-BIT MATTHEWS- 18, Black, Indigenous, Latine, API, MENASA or Mixed. Strong Dancer. A natural clown with an infectious sense of humor, extremely loyal to the Greasers and to the Curtis family. One of the best fighters among the greasers.
BOB- 17/18, white, the leader of the Socs, Tulsa Society's golden boy. Cocky, charming, dazzling, a natural leader. Has the whole world by the tail. Cherry's boyfriend and the captain of the football team. Comes from extreme privilege, he doesn't take no for an answer. Expresses his rage and repressed emotions through violence and bullying.
PAUL- 20, white, physically intimidating, he was the best receiver on his high school football team and went on to play college ball. Bob's best friend and 2nd in command. Buries his fears and insecurities under a mask of confidence and self-assurance. A one-time football teammate of Darrell, he got to have the future Darry dreamed of. Quiets his own demons by wailing on Greasers.
