The Wolves are the best of the best. A pack of warriors protecting their undefeated record. But are they ready for the challenges they face on and off the field? The absorbing story of a high school girls’ soccer team combines the tumult of teenage self-discovery and the journey of finding your place in a group. Teamwork, competition and camaraderie of sport transcends the playing field in Sarah DeLappe’s compelling debut. A 2017 Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Jebran says, “It brings me so much joy to be a part of this female dominant cast and creative team. The Wolves script discusses a widespread range of social and political issues, from feminism to genocides. Yet, despite these heavy topics, the wit of each line allows the opportunity to laugh as these high school girls process problems of the world out loud. I love spending the ends of my days learning and laughing with these women!”

The creative team includes: Julie Foh (Director), KP Zarabozo (Scenic Design), Allison Zerio (Lighting Design), Zhiyan Liu (Costume Design), Daniel Landry (Sound Design), Edmond Vitcavage (Dramaturg), and Dorryen Sceviour (Stage Manager).
