The Wolves

By Sarah DeLappe

Directed by Audrey Lauren Standish

From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, a girl’s indoor soccer team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigor of a pack of young warriors. A funny and moving portrait of female athletes and their victories and defeats on and off the field. A Pulitzer Prize finalist from a new voice in American drama that has quickly become one of the most performed plays in America.

The cast features Anna Bogan, Maya Buffomante, Olivia Cozzini, Olivia Everett, Paige Gruener, Audrey Kentz, Summer Kleppek, Jeanne Leep, Natalie Matthai, and Sophia Schmidt under the direction of Audrey Lauren Standsih, assisted by Grant Borcherding, with Bridget Anderson as Dramaturg, and Romaric Setodji as Soccer Coach. Scenic design is by Grace McGuire, costume design by Jiaming Xie, lighting design by Ana Gonzalez Clark, sound design by Jude Langhammer, projection/video design by Ryan Bertelson, properties by Myra Delikat, technical direction by Angie Hause, and the stage manager is Daniel Lennartz assisted by Jess Schnoll.
