North Strabane residents have a new cultural offering this week. The acclaimed one‑act play The Wolves begins its run at Little Lake Theatre on Thursday, bringing a story that resonates with teenage girls and their families.
Why the play matters locally
Written by playwright Sarah DeLappe, The Wolves follows a group of high‑school girls as they gather for their Saturday morning soccer warm‑ups. The dialogue captures everything from crushes and pop‑culture references to the political conversations that shape young minds. The play was a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in drama, with the Pulitzer committee noting that it “illuminates the unmistakable ping of reality the way young selves are formed when innate character clashes with external challenges.”
