The Wolves by Sarah DeLappe is a fast-moving, funny, and honest look at a high school girls’ indoor soccer team. The play captures the authentic rhythms of teenage life – overlapping dialogue, unfiltered humor, and moments of deep vulnerability.

Tone & Style
Conversations are naturalistic, often overlapping, and reflect how teens speak when adults aren’t around. Humor and lightness are balanced with moments of gravity.
