Los Angeles Times - CRITIC'S CHOICE!
“STUNNING… a superb Echo Theater Company production” — Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times
KCRW 89.9 FM
“TENDER, POIGNANT AND FIERCE… You go on a ride with these girls and through their lives you see their world - and see it shattered. You’ll laugh with them, you’ll cringe with them, and ultimately you’ll probably weep with them.…It’s also important to see this play as part of the stellar body of work from director Alana Dietze. Ms. Dietze has directed a string of plays at the Echo ('Dry Land,' 'A Small Fire') that have provided tender, poignant and fierce windows on the female experience. If you didn’t get a chance to see those two plays - don’t miss 'The Wolves'. ” — Anthony Byrnes, KCRW 89.9 FM

“RECOMMENDED…. STAGE RAW TOP 10… RARE MAGIC” — Katie Buenneke, Stage Raw
Paris/LA
“RAPID-FIRE… the streams of quotidian wordplay that link the girls soon work a similar magic on the audience: moment by resonant moment, we are bound in the instant… The excellent cast perfectly captures the arrogance and awkwardness of adolescence.” — Barlo Perry, Paris-LA
On Stage and Screen
“TRIUMPHANT… The ensemble is fantastic… fully realized, complex human beings… I would have happily watched these characters for longer than the 90 minutes we are given with them” — Erin Conley, On Stage and Screen
Theatre Notes
“TERRIFIC, THRILLING, MOVING, EXCITING, AMAZING… performed by nine young women at the top of their game… an amazing ensemble and an utter joy to behold.” — Paul Myrvold, Theatre Notes
Stage Scene LA
"WOW! Echo Theater Company has not only scored a major coup in snagging the Los Angeles Premiere rights to Sarah DeLappe’s 2017 Pulitzer Prize finalist The Wolves, the extraordinary production Echo has mounted of DeLappe’s Altmanesque eavesdropping on six Saturdays of teen-girl soccer warmups will surely be remembered as one of 2019’s best."-- Steven Stanley, Stage Scene LA
