Bare: A Pop Opera

Bare is a gripping, provocative pop opera about students during their senior year in a private Catholic preparatory academy and their struggles with first love, sexuality, drugs, parents, and religion. A cross between Rent and Dead Poet’s Society, Bare tells of the relationship among a group of friends, including the secret lives of altar boy Peter and his roommate, the popular Jason. The Seattle premiere of this hit Off-Broadway musical is performed by enormously talented students aged 17-20 who won their roles in a vigorous competition for exclusive spots in ArtsWest’s award-winning Musical Theater Apprenticeship Program.
