In today's backstage blog, we take to the soccer pitch to chat with Ellie Nunan (Goalie) and Erin Perrey (Team Captain) from THE WOLVES to chat about soccer skills and the play's cult following.

"We are raring to get outta the rehearsal space and on to the astroturf!! We are ready for our audience and can't wait for them to experience the energy of THE WOLVES!" โšฝ๐Ÿบ

Directed by Belle Hansen, THE WOLVES is a portrait of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for nine American girls who just want to score some goals.

For over four decades, Theatre Works has held an unwavering commitment to independent theatre.

From daring new musicals, original plays and bold, ambitious works that colour and expand our everyday, we back the artists who challenge, disrupt and reimagine what theatre can be.

Weโ€™re here for the renegades. The disruptors. The visionaries.

As a nonprofit, the Theatre Works stage comes alive thanks to the generosity of people just like you.

This End of Financial Year campaign, weโ€™re raising $30k in 30 days to power the next wave of independent theatre.

By giving to Theatre Works, no matter the amount, you are helping to champion the artists - the actors, the writers, the producers, the designers - that bring independent theatre to life.

The impact?

New works, new stories, new voices. New unfiltered experiences that only happen at Theatre Works. And a future for Australian theatre that remains audacious and deeply human.

We canโ€™t do this without you.

Your generosity makes a real difference, in real time.
