Florida State University's School of Theatre presents "The Wolves," a coming-of-age story that explores the lives and challenges of a high school girls' soccer team.
The play delves into the difficulties of adolescence, including college applications, self-image, societal expectations and the journey of growing up.
The performance, written by Sarah DeLappe, will run from Friday, Nov. 1, through Sunday, Nov. 10, at the Lab Theatre. This production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French Inc.
"'The Wolves' is a story that resonates with everyone," said Melissa Tarduno, director of the performance. "The play brings back memories of deep conversations with friends and the challenges we faced, and it celebrates those who supported us. Through their shared experiences, these young women form strong bonds while confronting issues of friendship, identity and the pressures of their formative years."
The cast features FSU Theatre students Alanna Boyd (#14), Angélica Concepción (#00), Brooke Culp (#7), Ellie Dobleske (#2), Layla Hemric (#8), Kerrington Jackson (Soccer Mom), Grace Kicak (#46), Lisa Kolley (#11), Casey MacLeod (#13) and Kyra Paternoster (#25). Bringing this production to life are director Melissa Tarduno, scenic designer Krista Franco, costume designer Ning Goff, lighting designer Xotchil Musser, and sound designer Max Allen.
