Link 8th graders traveled to New York City to experience the Broadway production of The Outsiders, bringing their classroom study of S.E. Hinton’s classic novel to life. After enjoying lunch in the city, our scholars headed to the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre for the performance. The experience culminated in an exclusive Q&A session with cast members, who shared insights about bringing the story to the stage. This unforgettable educational opportunity was made possible through a combination of student fundraising efforts and generous support from individual donors.
One student reflection of the play: “There are over 1 million words in the English language and that still isn’t enough to describe my amazement. From the songs to the choreography down to the littlest detail in the story I was amazed…Watching the amount of passion put into a show like that was unbelievable…I couldn’t bear to take my eyes off of the stage for even a second…I want to thank…the sponsors who were willing to donate money to make our dreams come true.” Victoria
