Cast & Crew Bios
Lanoree Blake (Director/Lighting/Sound) is so thrilled to finally be directing at Spotlighters after the plague-that-will-not-be-named dashed her previous chance.

Favorite acting credits include Martha in Heathers: The Musical (Third Wall), Cheryl in Evil Dead: The Musical (Deer in the Spotlight) and Ashley Olsen in Mary-Kate Olsen is in Love (The Strand). Lanoree is a part-time educator and is the current Education Apprentice at Everyman Theatre. She dedicates this show, as always, to her cat Anchovy, who is her biggest critic. “Meow” - Anchovy, probably.
Margaret Condon (Soccer Mom) is elated to work with Lanoree Blake again, which is great whether she was backstage managing, on-stage performing, or in the thick of it directing. Margaret loves her gals on the soccer team, so girls, be patient with your moms, we are all just trying our best.

Director’s Comments . . .
This show, much like a teenage girl, is a BEAST. I couldn’t have asked for a better cast - devoted, funny, caring and so alive.
They took everything I gave them and breathed so much life into it it became a real, living creature, spitting and snarling across the stage.
Wolves are pack animals - they live in groups of 6 to 10, and have one designated leader. That spot is hard fought - much like we fight to take control of our lives, wolves do the same. But there comes a time when, animal or human, we must accept that we cannot control everything.
Teenage girls are the last people on Earth to get that memo, and they spend so much of their time clawing their way up social and academic ladders, praying to be seen and heard amongst their peers.
I hope that all of the teenage girls in your lives (even the one whose youth is already past but lives deep within your heart) remember that they are allowed to just be. Sing at the top of your lungs, play sports you don’t like, eat oranges and put the rind in your mouth and laugh and dance and LIVE.
We have plenty of time to be Wolves - so let’s make time to be girls.
