Production Content Warning

Discussions of emotionally charged topics including sexual assault, suicide, an ableist slur, and a fatal accident are part of this show. Please read the script if you believe this may be triggering.    

 

Rehearsals

Rehearsals are organized around actor conflicts as much as possible. Typically rehearsals are held in the evenings and weekends, 15-20 hours per week with actors called and released as needed. As this is an ensemble reliant show, all actors will be called to most rehearsals.

 

Synopsis & Character Breakdown

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. Each team member struggles to negotiate her individuality while being a part of a group. The team seems as if it may disband after the sudden death of one of the girls, but they manage to come together– closer, stronger, wiser, and fiercer. (Synopsis from Lincoln Center)

Inclusion Statement: In reference to the character descriptions below—most characters we encounter are currently on the binary and are written with she/her pronouns. However limiting the descriptions are, our casting seeks to be as inclusive as possible. Actors of all race and ethnicities are encouraged to audition for the majority of roles (see character descriptions below). All of the roles except SOCCER MOM require a high level of physical movement and agility.

 

Character breakdown

  • #11 - Midfield. Brainy, morbid, budding elitist, thoughtful. Seventeen. Has a true interest in the world outside her suburban bubble and grapples with questions of morality. Studious in her interests.

  • #25 - Defense. Captain. Classic (ex.) coach's daughter. Seventeen. A leader. Determined to keep the team in line, and expects a certain excellence and decorum. Navigating teen hood and a budding queer relationship.

  • #13 - Midfield. Stoner, older pot dealer brother. Sixteen. Has a bit of a sardonic sense of humor, but maybe because she lives in the present and doesn’t really think ahead.

  • #46 - Bench. New girl. Awkward, different, just wants to fit in. Sixteen. Struggles wildly to find her social footing and the effort is laborious. A highly talented soccer athlete.

  • #2 - Defense. Innocent, unlucky, kind, skinny. Sixteen. Has lived a sheltered life with her strictly religious family. Has a secret eating disorder. Sweet but naïve.

  • #7 - Striker. Too cool for school. Sarcastic, "fuck," thick eyeliner. Almost 17. Precocious. Pushes the limits, and other people. Thinks she’s invincible, but an injury forces her to go from cool to cold.

  • #14 - Midfield. #7's insecure sidekick. Armenian. Sixteen. Tries to be cool like her BFF #7, but she isn’t quite ready to let go of adolescence. Loyal until betrayed.

  • #8 - Defense. Childlike and determined to stay that way. Sixteen. Really wants to go to Disneyworld.

  • #00 - Goalie. Intense performance anxiety, perfectionist, high achiever. Seventeen. Vomits from anxiety before every game. Constantly visualizing. Has a strong sense of justice.

  • Soccer Mom – Overwhelmed and transformed by grief.
