Tickets are available to reserve here. You may only reserve one ticket. Tickets are free of charge for all Princeton undergraduates. RSVP is required.
Following the show, director Sarah Rasmussen will be in conversation with Sabrina King '01, head coach of women’s volleyball and Heather Driscoll, the soccer consultant for The Wolves. Dean Claire Pinciaro '13 who was a goalie on the Princeton women’s soccer team, will provide welcoming remarks to frame the discussion. We will also take questions from the audience.
Audience members will be invited to attend a food truck afterparty on the lawn outside of the theater immediately following the talk-back. Our hope is that this will provide an opportunity for student-athletes to meet others across teams and continue the conversation about their thoughts on the performance and discussion. The Wolves cast will be invited to join the party.
