Olympic Hopefuls

in vivo Productions • Semi-professional company

75 minutes•The Hepburn Suite
Olympic Hopefuls is a sharp, funny and unexpectedly moving new play about four Filipina women of a certain age who decide, against all logic and gravity, to qualify for the Winter Olympics in curling. Armed with grit, group chat loyalty and a suspicious amount of delusion, they train on borrowed ice while wrestling with identity, ambition and the quiet ache of being underestimated. As Olympic fever rises, so do long-buried rivalries and impossible dreams. Part underdog sports saga, part diaspora comedy, Olympic Hopefuls asks: who gets to chase glory, and who’s told to sit in the stands?
