Cast Announced for THE WOLVES at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati

ETC_The Wolves logoTHE WOLVES at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati runs June 1-29.

Drive. Ambition. Endurance. Precision. We’re not talking about any high school girls’ soccer team; we’re talking about a pack of female warriors, determined to win. Infused with the raw jagged energy of youth, The Wolves offers a refreshingly complex depiction of girls navigating friendships, growing up, confronting the future—and trying to score a few goals. Immediate and timely, this ferociously contemporary coming-of-age drama explores the aggression and teamwork of sports and adolescence with an unflinching and compassionate eye. A 2017 Pulitzer Prize finalist, Sarah DeLappe’s widely-acclaimed firecracker of a debut is a fierce and unexpected play that has been taking the theater world by storm with its powerful reflection on society, sex, and soccer.

This production contains mature language and content and may not be suitable for all audiences. Approximate running time: 90 minutes with no intermission. 

The cast includes:

  • Maggie Cramer as #46
  • Avery Deutsch as #2
  • Maya Farhat as #14
  • Annie Fitzpatrick as Soccer Mom
  • Maliyah Gramata-Jones as #00
  • Victoria Hawley as #8
  • Becca Howell as #11
