'bare' is a contemporary rock musical that focuses on the coming-of-age of five high school students at a Catholic boarding school. As the students struggle to find their identity, they strive to define themselves in terms of their sexuality, religion and relationships.

With a pulsing rock score at its center, 'bare' follows the secret love affair between Peter and Jason, two high school dorm mates, and the sensual persistance of the popular Ivy, who aggressively pursues her attraction to Jason.

The first production of 'bare' held its world premiere in Hollywood in October 2000. Nine years later, we are thrilled to be bringing the material back home to Los Angeles. By producing this concert workshop, our goal is to not only inspire our audiences, but to garner interest for the project so that a larger production can be mounted in the coming year.

With strong themes of acceptance, tolerance and equality, the book and score of 'bare' are increasingly relevant today. Part of the proceeds from this workshop will be donated to benefit the NO H8 campaign.

Produced by NightGlory Productions in association with Art|Works Theatre.
