This show may be challenging for audience members who struggle with auditory/visual processing due to bright stage lights (no strobe), loud/overlapping dialogue; soccer action/physical movements happening simultaneously; a loud sports whistle at various times throughout the performance.

The WOLVES encapsulates the complexity of the adolescent experience. We hope our informed audience members find truth in the character identities and authenticity in the stories they carry.
