This award-winning play follows the nine teenage girls that make up The Wolves soccer team.
“I wanted to see a portrait of teenage girls as human beings -- as complicated, nuanced, very idiosyncratic people who weren’t just girlfriends or sex objects or manic pixie dream girls but who were athletes and daughters and students and scholars and people who were trying actively to figure out who they were in this changing world around them.” - Playwright Sarah DeLappe
**The Wolves contains sensitive subject matter and graphic language that may be problematic for some audience members.**

Conceived by Tony Speciale | Collaboratively written by Members of Plastic Theatre
In the spring of 1920, a Harvard sophomore is found dead. Soon after, an ad hoc disciplinary tribunal is formed to investigate allegations of homosexual activity at the university. What begins as an inquiry into the mysterious death of a student quickly becomes a campus-wide inquisition. Inspired by true events, Unnatural Acts incorporates court transcripts and historical records from the Harvard University Archives to document an American tragedy and lost chapter in early 20th century LGBTQ history.

Devised by Dom Torrez
Pages from a Love Manifesto is a devised theatre piece that, at its core, explores love: our definitions of love, how we relate to love, how we can come to know love and become better practitioners of love, etc. Guided by bell hooks' narrative, All About Love, this show is a radical deep dive into love (and heartbreak), inspired by personal tales and testimonies.
