Meet the Cast of The Wolves by Sarah DeLappe
About the Play
Our next livestream project at TYP will be the play The Wolves streaming March 24-27 at 7pm and March 28 at 4pm!!! Pulitzer Prize finalist The Wolves is the debut play of up-and-coming playwright Sarah DeLappe. Featuring an all-female cast (comprised of nine adolescents and one briefly-seen adult), The Wolves chronicles six Saturday mornings in the lives of a soccer team somewhere in suburban America as they prepare for their games. The girls discuss everything from genocide to menstrual cycles to drugs to boys to literature to each other, and a group of girls whom at first seem indistinguishable as each is referred to by only her number and all are clad in the same jersey only bearing her number quickly become identifiable and different. In the course of six short weeks, the Wolves deal with love, loss, and identity in ways that real teenagers do. The Wolves received the American Playwriting Foundation's inaugural Relentless Award in 2015 and premiered Off-Broadway at The Duke at 42nd Street in September 2016.

This show is live streaming March 2 & 3 at 7pm and March 4 at 4pm
Please join us for an evening of 10-minute plays performed by the young artists in Theater for Young Professionals' Monday night acting class. Characters laugh, cry, fume, hate, plead and question life and death, good and bad in this collection of plays woven with humor and heart. Prom Royalty: What begins as a wonderful parade ride for high-school royalty dissolves into a hilarious disaster. Ghost Trackers: Four high-school students visit a haunted house in the hopes of catching paranormal activity for a school project. Subtext: Boy and Girl are on a first date. Their inner thoughts (Sub and Text) follow them around saying what Boy and Girl are really thinking. Danny: Three sisters visit their brother, Danny's, gravesite on the one-year anniversary of his death. I'll Be Seeing You (performed twice): Two friends are reunited briefly a week after one of them committed suicide.
