“Soft Target”Detroit Public TheatreDetroit, Mich. May 2, 2025Something is off about the characters in“Soft Target.” Why is Jonah shuffling awkwardly across the floor? What’s up with Molly’s Barbie hands and legs that don’t bend? And why does Di have sticky notes on her back with pants that look like they’ve been scribbled on by a child?

You can always tell when a photo or painting of a woman was done by a male artist. Often there’s an overemphasis on her breasts and the other curves of her body, or she is miraculously free of wrinkles, and the imperfections that make her human. That isn’t the case at Playground Detroit’s Female Gaze exhibit, curated by gallery-owner Paulina Petkoski for Women’s History Month.
