Don’t miss out on the MTHS Fall Play - The Outsiders! Tickets on sale now!
Based on the classic novel by S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders is a poignant and heroic story about class, broken homes, protecting one's turf, and of belonging, friendship, and maintaining hope in the face of struggle, a powerful reminder of what young people encounter. It's a searing story of real kids of every sort, from destitute outlaws, gas station workers, and high school dropouts (the Greasers), to the college-bound, have-it-made rich kids (the Socs) in tough situations with consequences seen through the eyes of young Ponyboy. As these young people try to find themselves and each other, the sadness of sophistication begins to reach them. A brawl between the two gangs ends in disaster and sets off a series of events that will change their lives. While some Greasers try to achieve redemption, others meet tragic ends.
The Outsiders will be performed at the Kenneth H. Maurer Performing Arts Center from September 17-20, 2026. Performances begin at 7 PM on the 17th, 18th, and 19th and 2 PM on the 20th. Tickets are on sale now and will be available through the online MTHS Box Office: https://mthstheatredept.ludus.com/
Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for senior citizens 60 & older, $5 for students 8th grade & younger, and all MTHS Students with a school ID are free.
For questions about tickets or the box office, please contact (309) 367-4151, ext. 574 or kherrick@mths.us
