Mr. Wolf
Written by ensemble member Rajiv Joseph
Directed by ensemble member K. Todd Freeman
September 11 - November 2, 2025 in the the Downstairs Theater
14 years ago, the infant Theresa was stolen from her parents. Now, the precocious 15-year-old has been rescued, and quickly returned to a family that had nearly forsaken hope—a family she neither recognizes nor understands. In ensemble member Rajiv Joseph’s unflinching play, a miraculous reunion sets the stage for provocative conversations: what makes a house a home? What nightmares are we willing to face for the sake of our children? And ultimately, what part do we play in the grand saga of human existence?
