As the city prepares for the excitement of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Inis Nua Theatre Company invites audiences to experience a different kind of football story with Same Team by Robbie Gordon and Jack Nurse , directed by Kittson O'Neill. The production runs May 27 through June 14, 2026, at the Proscenium Theatre at The Drake. Filled with the pulse-pounding momentum of a live football match, Same Team captures the exhilaration, heartbreak, humor, and unpredictability that make soccer the world's game.

Set against the backdrop of the Homeless World Cup, Same Team follows five women from vastly different walks of life who come together through a community-center soccer team representing Scotland. Each arrives carrying her own burdens and ambitions: Jo is determined to win, The B is desperate for a second chance, Noor balances talent with the pressures of school and family, Lorraine searches for meaning, and single mother Sammy hopes to make her sons proud.

What begins as a long-shot team effort becomes a fierce and deeply human story about resilience, dignity, and connection. Praised by Theatre Scotland as "electric...compassionate, hilarious, and honest," the play shines a spotlight on women too often left out of both sports narratives and social conversations, while celebrating the transformative impact of teamwork.

As international football fever sweeps across North America, and Philadelphia during the 2026 World Cup, Same Team offers a timely reminder that the sport's greatest power lies not only in competition, but in community. The cast features Asha Bagal Kelly, Leanna Doyle, Page Whitman, K. O'Rourke, and V. Sterling.
