Both Howell and Hinton, who was dubbed the “Greasers’ den mother,” recalled what took place at the house after the “rumble,” the climactic fight scene following the stabbing of a Soc. Now, O'Connor is preparing for a showing of a 4K Blu-ray edition of the film, part of a weekend of events of this Saturday and Sunday. A plaque will be dedicated at Tulsa’s Circle Cinema, with remarks from O’Connor, Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum, and California librarian Jo Ellen Misakian, among others. O’Connor shares photos of celebrity visits on social media.

Guests will then arrive at The Outsiders House Museum, where you will be invited inside the historic Curtis Brothers home, to view our extensive collection of memorabilia from both the Coppola film and the Hinton novel. Restrooms, refreshments, and gift shop are all located in The General Store at the museum. Our guided bus tour will visit various filming locations from The Outsiders, which were specially selected by Danny Boy O’Connor, and will feature audio/video clips seen on a HD monitor to augment our live tour guide narration. The campus response “has not been draconian at all because of open channels of communication to administration, which have been very productive,” Ghosh said. USC President Carol Folt defended her decision in a message to the USC community Friday.

It was the home of the Curtis brothers in The Outsiders—now after several years of work, it’s a museum celebrating a story that has touched countless lives. Director Francis Ford Coppola shot the film in Tulsa with a young cast of future A-listers, including C. Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio, Matt Dillon, Diane Lane, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez and Tom Cruise.

Before he embarked on the project, he hadn’t been sure what he was going to do next, having plowed through most of his savings. It continues to resonate, O’Connor says, because everyone can relate to feeling like an outsider at some point in their life. There were days when volunteers who had promised to help got busy with their own lives. Or new problems popped up, like permits or parking, and the project would stall. The stress of the move and the renovation took a toll on his personal life, too. Most of the donations came from average people, fellow fans — $5 here, $20 there — but there were some big-name donors, too, most notably Jack White, who gave $30,000 in 2018.

days that rocked USC: How a derailed commencement brought ‘complete disaster’

Hundreds of UC Santa Barbara students completed a daylong occupation of the student resources building without mishap this week. The event featured workshops, art projects and other actions to express solidarity with Palestinians, call for a cease-fire and demand an end to Israel-related investments. At UC Berkeley, nearly 100 tents remained up in the “Free Palestine Camp” by Sproul Hall, the historic home of the campus’ free speech movement. With the last day of instruction Friday and finals starting after that, the campus is prioritizing the academic interests of students, said Dan Mogulof, assistant vice chancellor for executive communications. USC is now allowing students to stay outside overnight as they continue their protests — but not in tents. Carlisle said the difference is that they are not violating bans on overnight camping.

The "Tulsa Takes the Stage" event was held on April 10 in New York City to celebrate the April 11 premiere of The Outsiders musical.

By evening, metal barricades were set up around the encampment’s north side to protect both sides. At Cal Poly Humboldt in Arcata, the campus remained closed and classes shifted online, with pro-Palestinian students occupying multiple buildings since Monday night. Schools and teachers who are interested in scheduling a field trip to the museum may contact for information about scheduling a tour. There is currently a discounted price for school field trips. Ideally, we hope to eventually have a low-cost or no cost program in place.

One Palestinian American student, who did not want to be named due to safety concerns, said some pushback was expected, but not the clashes involving campus safety officers and the LAPD. The museum is a 501(c)(3) organization and donations are tax deductible. Your donation to the museum will help continue preservation work, increase exhibit space, and expand the museum’s ability to offer programming to students and educators.

Part of the difference is rooted in the legal requirement for public universities to honor the 1st Amendment, which does not apply to private institutions. But not all public campuses have refrained from an aggressive response. The University of Texas at Austin, for instance, sent in armed state troopers who arrested more than 50 people this week for staging what witnesses said was a peaceful protest.

After years of renovations, obstacles, and setbacks, the museum opened to the public in August 2019. The museum also includes memorabilia from the film set, including furniture, photos, posters and the leather jacket worn by Dillon's character, Dallas Winston. The Outsiders House Museum is a museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, about Francis Ford Coppola's coming-of-age movie,The Outsiders (1983), and the 1967 novel by the same name it adapts by S. It aims to preserve the house which served as the primary film set for the Curtis Brothers (the story's lead characters). The museum was created by hip-hop artist Danny Boy O'Connor, who is a long-time fan of The Outsiders. By contrast, USC senior administrators directed their campus security officers to clamp down on violations of its rules against overnight camping, said Assistant Chief David Carlisle of the Department of Public Safety, or DPS.

The Outsiders House Museum was created by Danny Boy O'Connor, formerly of the hip-hop group House of Pain. It's been a labor of love for O'Connor, who bought the house several years ago and renovated it. The museum will be staffed with an employee at all times. The gift shop will also be open during your visit to the museum.

In the 1990s, O'Connor co-founded the rap group House of Pain, with fellow rapper Erik Schrody (Everlast) and DJ Leor Dimant (DJ Lethal). Based on their cultural heritage they fashioned themselves as rowdy Irish-American hooligans. O'Connor played the role of art director, designing logos, branding, hype man, and co-rapper. In 1992, with the singles "Jump Around" and "Shamrocks and Shenanigans", their self-titled debut album, also known as Fine Malt Lyrics, went platinum.
