The Fernie Secondary School’s Traynor Hall was filled with parents and guests hanging on to every word during the students The Outsiders play.
Sporting high-waisted jeans and a plain white t-shirt, student Alias Engelhardt-LeChance narrated his character Ponyboy’s grief, moodiness and forgetfulness.
Engelhardt-LaChance, Lewis Lum, Colten Webster and Marlie Stephenson entertained the crowd with their moving performances.
Lum played main character Johnny, Webster performed as Ponybody’s older brother Sodapop and Stephenson played Cherry.
Following the performance, director Anna Gris was presented with a bouquet of flowers by the students and thanked for her dedication to the play.
