A young Korean boy is delivered to a new home by his adopted American father—into the care of an American boxer and her wife. When the father realizes the couple is queer, his certainty unravels, and his need to reclaim the boy takes over. Funny, tender, and inventive, Wolf Play weaves boxing, puppetry, and raw emotion into a theatrical meditation on belonging and the urgent question: Who gets to decide what makes a family?

This is not just theater — it is a reckoning with the quiet boundaries that define us and a celebration of the courage it takes to cross them.

In this electrifying months-long collaboration, San Jose State students and community members step into the light with stories that are tender, unflinching, and deeply human. Through movement, voice, and embodied storytelling, they confront the ways gender and cultural expectations can press against our authentic selves — revealing both the weight of those constraints and the fierce resilience required to break free.

You won’t simply sit and watch. You will journey.

Guided through a series of carefully crafted experiences, you’ll encounter intimate performances that unfold around you, dissolving the line between audience and artist. Each encounter holds a revelation. Each story pulses with vulnerability and strength. With every step, the invisible lines that shape our world become more impossible to ignore.

And then, together, we rise.
