A girls' soccer team take a silly group pic together, some of them smiling with orange peels covering their teeth.
A tense scene between two members of the same girls' scocer team. One of them, a Black girl, stares ahead stone-faced, while the other, a white girl, gets in her face with a grimacing expression.
A Black girl wearing a soccer uniform eats an orange with one hand, in the other she holds a ziplock bag containing orange peels.
Two women's soccer teammates stand near each other, one cheering as she raises both arms upwards in victory signs, the other smiling as she looks on whatever is happening before them.
A girl wearing a soccer jersey poses with an orange peel in her mouth. She extends one arm above her and holds the other at her waist.

The mystery of the restricted title is solved! Join TheatreUSF for our production of The Wolves by Sarah DeLappe, directed by Dan Granke.

Find yourself on a wide open green field – getting ready to go on the attack against an opposing team and navigating the rough waters of friendship and rivalries among teammates. From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, this indoor girls soccer team tackles big questions and wages tiny battles with the power of a pack of adolescent warriors.

PLEASE NOTE: This show contains adult themes and content. It is intended for high school students and up.
