In this hilarious and outlandish story, the lives of six teenagers from a choir are cut short in a freak accident aboard a roller coaster. When they awake in limbo, a mechanical fortune teller invites each to tell a story to win a prize like no other — the chance to return to life. This popular musical is a funny, moving look at what makes a life well-lived.

Directed by Terra Vandergaw
Sharp Theater- April 12-14, 18-20
Content Warning:
The Wolves contains graphic language and mature content (mention of death and suicide). Not recommended for children under 12.
The Wolves is an exhilarating and sometimes frightening look into the world of a team of young female soccer players. These teenagers are the only inhabitants of the astroturf planet where they spend their Saturdays, and they are “not there as daughters or girlfriends or sex objects or manic pixie dream girls.” They are there on their own terms, fighting to win at nationals while managing to survive high school. Winner of the first Relentless Award for Playwriting and a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, The Wolves is a sparkling take on raw adolescence, sex, society, soccer, and how to navigate coming of age in a complicated world.
General Admission $15, RCNJ Students: $5
