S.E. Hinton’s powerful compassionate book about young people is the source of this play, as it was for the film version which has become a modern classic. This stage adaptation deals with real people, seen through the eyes of Ponyboy, a young “Greaser” caught up in territorial battles between the have-it-made rich kids - the “Socs” - and his tough underprivileged “Greaser” family and friends. It is about young people who are not yet hopeless, about latent decency in the midst of struggle, and about not losing touch with the residual slivers of gold within us.

The play is adapted by Christopher Sergel from the book by S. E. Hinton.This production is produced by Dan Bistrimovich, and directed by Peter Bobchin and Dawn Fulbrook.
