The Laker Theatre Company did a phenomenal job with its production of "The Outsiders." A good portion of the cast and crew were first-timers, and they did such an awesome job that you'd never know that this was their first production. All of the cast and crew knocked this hard-hitting play out of the....well, auditorium! Congratulations to all for doing a stellar job and giving the audience such a powerful experience. The cast and crew included high school students and 8th-graders.
