The Outsiders (1990) is a stage adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s classic 1967 novel. The play condenses the story of Ponyboy Curtis and the greaser-Soc conflict for theatrical performance and has become a staple of school drama programs.

The stage version preserves the novel’s core story while trimming it to fit a two-act format. Schools and community theaters have produced it for decades, keeping the material alive for new generations of performers and audiences. The novel was also adapted into a 1983 film directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Between the movie and this play script, The Outsiders has been one of the most frequently adapted works in YA literature.
