UPCOMING AUDITIONS
Whether you’re a stage veteran or an amateur, you’re invited to perform with us.
The Wolves
Directed by Siobhan Shea
Assistant Directed by Thom Ingram
By Sarah DeLappe
In this contemporary slice-of-life play, The Wolves, a girls’ indoor soccer team, practice drills as they prepare for a succession of games. As they warm up and talk about life, the girls navigate the politics of their personal lives as well as the politics of the larger world, gossiping about things like war, menstrual products, genocide, sports, pop culture and their relationships.
Each team member struggles to negotiate her individuality while being a part of a group. They bond over a bag of orange slices and personal traumas. The team seems as if it may disband after the sudden death of one of the girls, but they manage to come together.
In the end, the surviving team players prepare to play yet another game together—closer, stronger, wiser and fiercer.
“I wanted to see a portrait of teenage girls as human beings—as complicated, nuanced, very idiosyncratic people who weren’t just girlfriends or sex objects or manic pixie dream girls but who were athletes and daughters and students and scholars and people who were trying actively to figure out who they were in this changing world around them."

AVAILABLE ROLES
We are looking for actors of any age who can embody teenage girls.
#11: Midfield. She is brainy, morbid, budding elitist, thoughtful.
#00: Goalie. She has intense performance anxiety, perfectionist, high achiever.
#07: Striker. She’s too cool for school. Sarcastic, “fuck,” thick eyeliner.
#14: Midfield. #07’s insecure sidekick. She just switched to contacts.
#08: Defense. Plays dumber than she is. Childlike and determined to stay that way.
#13: Midfield. Stoner, older pot dealer brother, into her wackiness.
#25: Defense. Captain, classic (ex) coach’s daughter.
#46: Bench. New girl, awkward, different, just wants to fit in.
#02: Defense. She’s innocent, unlucky, kind.
Soccer Mom. #14’s mother. She is the nicest of the moms, and sometimes she sends her daughter to games with bags full of orange slices.
