WNCC Theatre Arts presents Wolfchild: The Correction of Joseph. Suggested by accounts of the education of feral children, Wolfchild tells the fictionalized story of young Joseph, a boy raised by wolves. Joseph is captured, held against his will and prevented from seeing what he thought was his family. He is disciplined, corrected and punished until he learns a simple lesson: to walk on two legs instead of four. Joseph learns to walk, talk, behave, even laugh and play like a human being. Joseph the Wolf Child asks what is lost as well as gained in his struggle to enter civilization.
