“The Wolves” centers on a group of teenage girls, their soccer practices, and the conversations that unfold between them. From debating pads versus tampons to grappling with larger world issues like genocide, the play illuminates the complexity of being sixteen, where every moment is both incredibly significant and fleeting.
With overlapping dialogue and an unfiltered approach, The Wolves gives a raw and honest portrayal of a group of girls creating their own space, claiming autonomy, and defining themselves outside the influence of the male gaze or societal expectations.
The Wolves is not just a play about a high school soccer team. It is about the small, unfiltered moments of girlhood that happen when adults aren’t around to listen. Reaching for the right words; dealing with things bigger than yourself. For the next ninety minutes, I invite you to let yourself step onto the field with them and feel what it is like to be a part of every conversation, every silence, and every moment. – Director Kayla Bowe
The talented cast features: Hope Smalley, Ali Walker, Ivy Meyer, Janea Hundley, Anna Fiscarelli-Mintz, Jessie Demmert, Salma Elwy, Angelina Canavan, Autumn Scouten, Kathy Gilbert (Soccer Mom), Alternates Courtney Bundens and Gab Fischetti.
