bare

Teenaged love and all its angsty conflict can get very dramatic. In Jon Hartmere Jr. and Damon Intrabartolo’s bare, that drama turns into tragedy. The pop opera that Variety called a “magnificent, totally original contemporary musical extravaganza” tells the story of two gay teens struggling with their sexuality at an upscale Catholic boarding school. Jason is the school’s hotshot. He’s great at sports and school work, and he’s got a pretty girl chasing after him. But he’s having secret sex with his best friend Peter. When Jason and Peter are outed, it’s more than one of them can stand.
