West Orange High School To Present ‘The Outsiders’

WEST ORANGE, NJ — The West Orange High School Drama Department will present its Fall Play, “The Outsiders,” based on S.E. Hinton’s iconic novel of teenage haves and have-nots and the events that play out in an Oklahoma town.

According to school officials:

“Ponyboy, a ‘greaser’ on the wrong side of the tracks, is the protagonist caught up in a territorial battle between the rich, privileged “Socs,” and his tough, underprivileged ‘greaser’ friends and family.”

Performances will be held on Nov. 1, 2, and 3 in the West Orange High School Auditorium, located at 51 Conforti Avenue on the Pleasant Valley Way side of the campus.

Tickets are $10 for students and $12 for adults in advance at wohs.booktix.com. All tickets at the door will be $15. A special free performance for senior citizens will be held on Oct. 31. All performances will begin promptly at 7 p.m. The play is recommended for children ages 12 and up.
