Casting Equity actors for chorus in "The Outsiders." Synopsis: "The Outsiders" is a story about class, broken homes, protecting one’s turf, and the all-too-real American condition known as the “Haves and Have Nots.” It is a world of kids of every sort, from destitute outlaws, gas station workers, and high school dropouts (the Greasers), to the very well appointed, college-bound, and wealthy (the Socs). This is Tulsa 1967, where to be a Soc means to be rich and white. To be a Greaser is to be poor, rejected by the Haves because of any number of facets: economic status, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and any other facet that Tulsa Soc Society deems as "other." The Greasers are a group of boys who have created a chosen family that reflects the true diversity of Tulsa.

Works two roofing jobs and has taken on the difficult task of raising and providing for his two younger brothers.
