Macon Little Theatre (MLT) presents the 2017 Pulitzer Prize nominated play and New York Times Critics Pick, The Wolves by Sarah DeLappe.  This is an intimate portrait of what a teen girls' soccer team feels like in a modern slice of life play.  As the players drill during practice, issues arise from global politics to personal drama, hashed out on the field.  An athletic tale of cooperation and confidence. New to MLT, theatre patrons will have the option to sit on stage with the actors during the performance. There will be a "Show Talk Back" with the cast on 5/14 and 5/21 at 4:15 p.m.

The Wolves is set in an indoor soccer facility. Each scene depicts the nine teenage girls who make up the Wolves, a high school soccer team, conversing while they warm up before their game each week. In most scenes, the team is going through a stretching routine led by #25, the team captain, or doing practice exercises. The girls sometimes continue their gossip from the previous week, bringing up new developments or related topics.

Tragedy strikes before the final game, which causes #00 to break down in the stadium at night, but also overcome her anxiety. The teammates assume among themselves that the others will ditch the game and they will have to forfeit. However, all of the other girls except #14 come to the stadium one by one, allowing them to play, and they grieve the recent death of #14 in a car accident.
