The Outsiders Reviews

Around The Town Chicago - Somewhat Recommended

"...The scenes move quickly and often, it is hard to tell what is truly happening. Johnny’s parents fight all the time and he considers suicide in order to escape this life."

Chicago Theatre Review - Recommended

"...Everyone, as James says, has been an Outsider at some point in his life. This universal condition makes Ponyboy’s story of a young boy’s ability to care about others and see things from someone else’s perspective so powerful. And the young man’s ultimate understanding that the poem, “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” is a commentary on the fleeting nature of youth and life itself. This fine production, simply and artistically presented, is proof positive that S.E. Hinton’s book is still as relevant today as when it was written."

"...James and the Home Creative Co. deserve credit for making the leap to the big city with a property as well-known and beloved as THE OUTSIDERS, and it’s clear they have talented young performers that I hope to see on more Chicago stages very soon."
