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.

Lichtman says, “Being a part of this production has been such an amazing process. It is so exciting to be doing a play about young women finding their place in the world and finding themselves...
