Following a two-night run prior to spring break, “The Wolves” returned for a three-day production, kicking off with a sold-out show on March 27. Directed by Jade C. Huell, “The Wolves” is a play written by Sarah Delappe that follows a high school girls’ indoor soccer team as they navigate life’s challenges, including identity and relationships, while exploring themes of competition and friendship.

Presented by the CSUN Department of Theatre, the production opened on March 14 and ended on March 29 after five showings at the Experimental Theatre in The Soraya Complex.

The first scene opened with thematic music and ambient sounds of a soccer field, setting the scene. Dressed in lime green soccer gear, the girls moved in unison as they prepared for their upcoming game. With quick footwork drills and warm-ups, they engaged in conversations about major topics, including child trafficking, politics, immigration, disability, racial identity, abortion, racism and feminine hygiene.
