The Mount Pleasant High School Theatre Troupe will present “The Outsiders” Thursday, December 3 and Friday, December 4 in the MPHS Auditorium.  Show time both nights is 7 p.m. with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m.

“The Outsiders” tells the story of two loosely-organized teen gangs in mid-1960s Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Greasers are “from the wrong side of the tracks,” while the Socs are privileged kids from wealthy families. The play tells the story of Greaser Ponyboy Curtis, who becomes involved in the killing of a Soc when he and his friend, Johnny Cade, are attacked in the park one night. The impact of the events that follow profoundly affect Pony who tells his story in an essay for his English class that becomes the basis for the story.

Tickets for the play are $5 for adults and $3 for students and children under 7.
