A group of high school seniors at a Catholic boarding school faces issues of sexuality and personal identity. As they struggle to come to terms with who they are, and who the world thinks they should be, they seek answers from their Church, their friends, and ultimately, from within themselves. Its rich, vibrant score draws on many styles of contemporary music. From Theatrical Rights Worldwide

"Walking home after the opening showing of bare: A Pop Opera, I exclaimed to myself, “Wow, I’m not in high school anymore!” As the first play I've seen in college, bare far exceeded my expectations. The play questions identity and acceptance, and provokes answers from actors and audience alike. Its mature content warning indicates the raw, provocative and authentically offensive elements of the production. The cast — comprising students from Cornell University, Ithaca College and the local community — had very talented singers but even more amazing actors. Throughout the play, their voices electrified Risley Theatre and their acting entranced many in the audience." From The Cornell Daily Sun

"The cast brings the energy and emotion of the story to life. Even within the ensemble, the actors never cease to bring believability to their roles, which causes the audience to sympathize with them as the tragic and serious situations unfold." From The Ithacan.
