“The rich emotional complexity is vividly brought to the stage with heart and wit in a production that feels strikingly pure…Completely bereft of any production distractions, the drama hits the stage with stark intensity from a group of actors who are only beginning their relationship with the stage.”

-Russ Bickerstaff/Shepard Express

“There’s something powerfully visceral about a group of actual teens playing teenagers that feels that much more intense.”

“In The Wolves, characters are known only by their team numbers. However, each actor adds a distinctive tone to the overall production. The actors not only show an incredible range for their age, but they convincingly play characters who are as comfortable around each other as they would be towards their own siblings.”

“She literally shrieks about her misfortune (often startling audience members in the process). Her loud appearances add a comic touch to an otherwise serious play”

“The frustrating nature of power and control reaches into the darkest depth of social satire to produce something that feels remarkably fresh with a group of very young actors…Everything visually present onstage gracefully lends a well-designed nucleus around which all of the drama rushes in all of its maddening inertia”

-Russ Bickerstaff/Shepard Express

“I was thrilled by the mastery of the language here and the enthusiasm and energy exhibited by the entire cast. This is a daunting play for adults…there’s a lot of difficult dialogue to learn here and the Young Company nailed it.”
