SIMONE BLUE LLC is pleased to announce that SARAH DELAPPE’s play THE WOLVES will be performed at the Eastwood Performing Arts Center for four performances only.
Tickets will be available soon through the Hollywood Fringe Website.
THE WOLVES is an all female presenting cast of different backgrounds.
“Left quad. Right quad. Lunge. A girls indoor soccer team warms up. From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, the team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigor of a pack of adolescent warriors. A portrait of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for nine American girls who just want to score some goals.”
