Cindy makes friends in waiting rooms. She hears things in the walls of her house. Her orthodontist fiancé sure is gone a lot, but she's got a new friend Zach who breaks things-- and he's pretty into her homemade pastas. She'll tell you all about it in this intimate, darkly funny play exploring how masculinity f*cks things up. Boys just wanna be soft.

Sixteen audience members follow an insular high school friend group as they stumble from adolescence to adulthood. But in this show’s beguiling world, a coming-of-age might just come around more than once. What are wayward youth to do when faced with the opportunity to turn back the clock and re-write their most precarious moments?
The Brouhaha Theatre Project makes its return to Prospect Park with a dreamy immersive experience that takes its audience into some of the park's most enchanting corners.
