THE WOLVESby Sarah DeLappe
2017 Pulitzer Prize finalist
March 7-30, 2025
A girls indoor soccer team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigor of a pack of warriors. From the safety of their stretch circle, nine young women discover things about themselves and come to see each other for who they really are. With hilarious and distinctive overlapping dialogue that moves swiftly from gross-out jokes to personal conversations, The Wolves confronts society, sex, and soccer.

DeLappe says of her play, “I wanted to see a portrait of teenage girls as human beings -- as complicated, nuanced, very idiosyncratic people who weren’t just girlfriends or sex objects or manic pixie dream girls but who were athletes and daughters and students and scholars and people who were trying actively to figure out who they were in this changing world around them.”
“The scary, exhilarating brightness of raw adolescence emanates from every scene...” -The New York Times
