THE WOLF IS AN ENDANGERED SPECIES is a stylized period piece by Sam Anderson, adapted from an unfinished script by her late mother, the actress Conchata Ferrell. The original script and this new adaptation are both heavily influenced by Ferrell’s work in New York’s experimental and Off-Broadway theaters in the early ‘70s.
New York, 1973: five women attempt to mount a musical set in medieval times within a male-run theater company. As budget shortfalls deepen and institutional resistance hardens, the production becomes a pressure test for the women’s ambition, complicity, and interpersonal fractures. There is a baby grand piano, a ballad, and a flaming sword.
This is the second production of THE WOLF IS AN ENDANGERED SPECIES following a run of the show in November 2025 at 15 Orient, New York.

Last days to see Sam Anderson’s brilliant exhibition ‘Network’ at playworkshop.
Considering prototypes, there are no complete narratives but fundamental units of dramatic code: the crime scene, the saint, the television executive emerging from the trash like The Birth of Venus. Within playworkshop, objects invite a provisional network, a test channel where suspension of disbelief hinges on the material plausibility of its components and collaborative imagination.
Sam Anderson in Arcane 4
Interview by Louis Dufreche
When I first encountered Sam Anderson’s sculptures, I felt something shift. At first glance they seemed simple, even childlike, yet they belonged to a world of their own,
fragile, fractured, where puppets and figures played leading roles. Meeting
Sam revealed how deeply these visions were tied to theater. Born in Hollywood, she grew up surrounded by cinema and acting, with sets and characters as part of her everyday life. Her sculptures too are actors, often assembled from found materials, gestures, and a careful attention to space. When I visited her studio, we sat at her desk, scattered with tiny televisions in the making, to talk mostly about theater.
Arcane 4 is available on our website at the link bio and in selected bookshops around the world
