THE OUTSIDERS OPENS NEXT WEEK! Tickets are still available!

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.

THANK YOU to everyone who attended our first Theatre Camp last week!

Students who attended learned about characterization, auditioning, directing, singing, dancing, lighting, costuming, set design, and more! We are grateful to everyone who attended and to our students who volunteered to lead our student groups, perform, and lead workshops.

Looking forward to next year!

In our recent production of Disney’s Frozen, the full cast sang these words in the finale:

“Let’s fill this world with light and love.”

That is exactly what Tommy Casey did. His light shined bright, and his love for others was evident by his many friends in the cast, crew, and beyond.

As we scrolled through our many videos posted during Frozen, we saw many that featured him. We couldn’t help but smile each time we saw him. His energy and joy were pure and constant.

It simply won’t be the same without him, but we are so glad that he decided to be a part of the MTHS Musical his senior year. His contributions to our program will always be remembered and appreciated.

Please keep the Casey family and all who loved him in your prayers during this difficult time.
