The Wolves
By Sarah DeLappe
Performance Dates:
July 25 & August 1, 2020.
Summary:
Left quad. Right quad. Lunge. A girls’ indoor soccer team warms up. From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, the team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigor of a pack of adolescent warriors. A portrait of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for nine American girls who just want to score some goals.
Rehearsals had begun on this production when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out. The cast chose to continue rehearsals together via Zoom meetings. For safety during the pandemic and theatre closure, Spotlight licensed one online presentation (July 25 on YouTube) and a drive-in movie event (Aug. 1 in the SYT parking lot) of The Wolves produced on video in its real-life setting of a soccer field—thanks to Arizona Sports Complex of Glendale, Arizona.
Sarah DeLappe’s The Wolves was a Finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and winner of the
2015 Relentless Award for Playwrighting.
