The Wolves

by Sarah DeLappe • Directed by Sara Guerrero 8pm: 12/8, 12/9, 12/10 | 2pm: 12/11 | Young Theatre

The Wolves is a contemporary play by Sarah DeLappe focusing on a high school girls’ indoor soccer team as they warm up for a series of games. Amid the chaos of teenage self-discovery, the girls reflect on social pressure, loss, and the complexities of forging a personal identity. By play’s end, they are warriors tested and ready – they are The Wolves.
