‘THE OUTSIDERS’
AUG. 1-4
MAY RIVER THEATRE CO. PRESENTS NEW SUMMER SHOW
This summer, May River Theatre presents “The Outsiders,” a classic coming-of-age story based on a novel by S.E. Hinton and focused on themes of class conflict, acceptance, and loyalty.
“’The Outsiders’ has been a part of our school curriculum for years and is a staple of modern American literature that is loved by all ages,” said director Michelle McElroy, who recently directed Main Street Youth Theatre’s production of “High School Musical.” “It is also holds great relevance to many American struggles today.”

Based on the popular Disney movie, this high-energy production follows the unlikely pair of basketball captain Troy and brainy Gabriella as they surprise their friends by auditioning for the school musical — and deal with young love, friendship and family while balancing their classes and extracurricular activities.
