Kings Mountain Little Theatre Presents: The Outsiders
Stay gold with Kings Mountain Little Theatre as we bring the powerful and timeless story of The Outsiders to our stage. This gripping drama, adapted by Christopher Sergel from S.E. Hinton’s beloved novel, captures the raw emotion, fierce loyalty, and turbulent world of teenage life in 1960s Tulsa.
Directed by Chris Huffstetker and Mark Griffin, this production follows the Greasers — a tight-knit group of working-class kids — as they navigate friendship, rivalry, and heartbreak in a divided society. Caught between their loyalty to each other and a world that seems stacked against them, Ponyboy and his friends learn hard lessons about identity, belonging, and the fleeting nature of innocence.

With intense drama, heartfelt moments, and a rock-solid ensemble cast, The Outsiders delivers a story that still resonates strongly with audiences today.
