Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 12/02/2025

(WAYNE, NJ) -- Old Library Theatre presents The Wolves with three performances from December 12-14, 2025 at Preakness Reformed Church in Wayne. A sold-out Off-Broadway smash, the 2017 Pulitzer Prize finalist The Wolves by Sarah DeLappe is a portrait of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for nine American girls.

"Left quad! Right quad! Lunge!"

From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, a high school girls’ indoor soccer team- The Wolves- warms up. As the teammates prepare in sync, a symphony of overlapping dialogue spills out their innermost thoughts, ranging from the importance of next week's game to the toxic trap of body image to... Martin Luther King Jr. and genocide.

Performances take place Friday, December 12 at 7:30pm; Saturday, December 13 at 7:30pm; and Sunday, December 14 at 2:00pm. Tickets are available for purchase online. Preakness Reformed Church is located at 131 Church Lane in Wayne, New Jersey.

The Wolves features a cast of ten women: Allie Corris playing 00, Allie McGowan playing 02, Jenn Shelley playing 07, Gaya Malka playing 08, Melody Appel playing 11, Daphne Sardis playing 13, Natayla Artemys Kozlovski playing 14, Nina Bogosian playing 25, Laci Sova playing 46, and Kay Koch playing the soccer mom.
