Unsurprisingly, the topics on their bubbly, curious, information-overloaded minds are colorfully wide-ranging. Cambodia? Check. Abu Ghraib prison? Check. Feminine health? Check. Feminism? Check. Kids in cages? Check. Instagram? Check. Jude Law? Check. &#8220;Game of Thrones?&#8221; Check. As their conversations evolve into deeper explorations of betrayal, class, jealousy, miscommunication, and grief, DeLappe ultimately brings this team to a renewed sense of maturity. By the end, and in spite of great differences, there\u2019s no question how vital they have become to one another. They have been forever changed as a family of sisters bonded by the higher goal of acceptance, connection, love, and mutual respect.<\/p>\n<p>Breezily directed by Marya Spring Cordes with an astute awareness of peaks, valleys and subtleties within casually overlapping conversation (an equally significant attribute of her 2018 Human Race Theatre Company production of &#8220;Brighton Beach Memoirs&#8221;), &#8220;The Wolves&#8221; features wonderfully compatible actresses. The strong, believably athletic cast consists of quietly reserved and focused Mady McCabe (No. 00 \u2013 Goalie) endearingly sweet Megan Ledford (No. 2 \u2013 Defense), sensitive Julie Deye (No. 8 \u2013 Defense), snarky jokester Jessica Greenwald (No. 13 \u2013 Midfield), formidable Bridget Lorenz (No. 14 \u2013 Midfield), terrifically firm Tina Hohman (No. 25 \u2013 Defense and Team Captain), effective outsider Caroline Utz (No. 46 \u2013 Bench), poignant Sophie Kirk (Soccer Mom), and breakthrough performers Lauren Eifert (dynamic as the competitive, intimidating and foul-mouthed No. 7 \u2013 Striker) and Margo Russ (vibrant as the opinionated, commanding and current affairs-savvy No. 11 \u2013 Midfield).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mostmetro.com\/the-featured-articles\/the-wolves-review-wright-state-university-dream-team.html\">Read the complete review from Dayton Most Metro<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sarah DeLappe\u2019s outstanding 2017 Pulitzer Prize-nominated drama \u201cThe Wolves,\u201d a contemporary, coming-of-age character study about a girls\u2019 indoor soccer team, has received an excellent local premiere at Wright State University.
