ABOUT THE SHOW
In the shadowed hills of Harlan, the woods are alive with whispers. Witches, wolves, and warnings passed down like gospel. Nellie Dee has spent her whole life trying to be “good,” trying to stay safe, trying to keep her anger buried. As the town’s golden storyteller Ira tightens his grip, fear becomes a weapon, rumor becomes law, and Nellie’s secret can no longer stay hidden: the monster they’ve been searching for has been living among them all along.
Told through the discography of bluegrass band Breaking Grass and eerie folklore, Outrun the Wolf is a haunting new folk musical about power, myth, survival, and what it means to run toward yourself instead of away.
Outrun the Wolf is presented in partnership with Canyon Crest Academy, with support from The Depot UCSD. All performances will be held at Canyon Crest Academy.
