“The Wolves” 

  • Written by Sarah DeLappe 
  • Sarah Wilson ’20, Co-Director 
  • Sophia Menconi ’20, Co-Director

The Denison University Department of Theatre presents “The Wolves,” by Sarah DeLappe. “The Wolves” follows nine high school girls over the course of a winter of Saturdays as they warm up for their indoor soccer championship season. A 2017 Pulitizer Finalist and the winner of the first Relentless Award, “The Wolves” highlights the complexity, strength, and fierceness of teenage girls as they navigate playing as a team and as competitors to catch the attention of college recruiters. DeLappe nails the rhythms of teenage girl conversation as they talk about their hungover coach, political correctness, social media, abortion, and making a difference in the world.

“The Wolves” is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.

Directors: Sarah Wilson ’20 and Sophia Menconi ’20
