UMaine play ‘The Wolves’ viewable as on-demand, virtual production Mon, 03/01/2021 - 1:30pm
The University of Maine School of Performing Arts will present an on-demand virtual production of its first spring show,
The Wolves, streaming online from March 5–14.
The Wolves, by Sarah DeLappe, follows a girls’ indoor soccer team gathered in warm 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 adolescent warriors – a portrait of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for nine American girls who just want to score some goals.
The Wolves received the American Playwriting Foundation’s Relentless Award, and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Drama in 2017. It also was a New York Times Critic’s Pick.
