The University of Wisconsin-Superior Theatre Department will present “The Wolves.” Performances, directed by Jess Hughes, will take place at 7:30 p.m. on November 8, 9, 14 and 15, and at 2 p.m. November 10 and 16 in Manion Theater.

“The Wolves,” by Sarah Delappe, is a timely play about a girls’ high school soccer team that illuminates with the unmistakable ping of reality, the way young selves are formed when innate character clashes with external challenges. 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.

“It’s a heartwarming, coming-of-age story of nine girls on a high school soccer team working through the familiar adolescent issues that come from struggling to fit in while also trying to define themselves as individuals,” said UW-Superior assistant professor of theatre Sean Naughton. “It is powerful, funny, poignant, and one of the most popular plays being performed at colleges and universities today.”

Tickets for “The Wolves” are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and students and $5 for students with a valid UW-Superior ID. Tickets may be purchased at the box office in the Holden Fine Arts Center and online. Reservations can be made at (715) 394-8369. Manion Theater is in the Holden Fine Arts Center at 1805 Catlin Ave. in Superior.
