We are happy to refund your purchase with us and hope you will be able to make it to future performances on campus. We apologize for the inconvenience and greatly appreciate your support during these trying times.

WINTER 2020

The Wolves, by Sarah DeLappe- 2nd Weekend  CANCELED

March 5, 6, 7, 13 & 14 @ 7:30PM March 15 @2PM

New York Times Critic’s Pick, and Pulitzer Prize Finalist, The Wolves reveals a high school girls' soccer team warming up to face the large and small challenges of adult life.

As the team warms up for their game, they chatter about sex, menstrual periods, the Khmer Rouge, their parents, snake-handling, the b-word and other matters both profound (to them) and silly (to us).

“The Wolves is a delightful meditation on society, sex, and soccer…DeLappe’s dialogue is hilarious and idiosyncratic, moving swiftly from gross-out humor to pain […] She offers us ninety minutes in a smart, sympathetic, female world. It’s a patch of Astroturf I would gladly set foot on again.” – The Village Voice
