BELLINGHAM THEATREWORKS
2018 SEASON
The Wolves
Written by Sarah DeLappe | Directed by Mark Kuntz
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.
FINALIST! 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
CRITIC'S PICK! "The scary, exhilarating brightness of raw adolescence emanates from every scene of this uncannily assured first play by Sarah DeLappe." - The New York Times
The Wolves is a delightful meditation on society, sex, and soccer...DeLappe's dialogue is hilarious and idiosyncratic, moving swiftly from gross-out humor to pain [...] She offers us ninety minutes in a smart, sympathetic, female world. It's a patch of Astroturf I would gladly set foot on again." - The Village Voice
Strong Language, Mild Adult Themes

The Gun Show
Written by EM (Ellen) Lewis | Directed by Eric Brake
From our 2016 season, we are remounting our popular production of EM (Ellen) Lewis' The Gun Show. Featuring poignant and humorous stories about her life growing up in the gun culture of rural Oregon, Ms. Lewis' complicated relationship with guns is brought to life by Bellingham's veteran performer Ian Bivins.
"The drama's life-changing moments evoke a here-and-now immediacy, not easily forgotten."
