SENSITIVE GUYS by MJ Kaufman
In this college dark comedy, we’re introduced to The Men’s Peer Education group at Watson College: dedicated to unpacking and exposing male privilege. These “sensitive guys” believe that through increased self-awareness they can end sexual violence on campus; but when a shocking rumor surfaces, the group is shaken to the core. Sensitive Guys features a cast of women and gender nonconforming actors, double-cast as male and female characters, who try to understand men who are trying to understand masculinity.
WE MAKE !@#$ THEATER.
