For technical reasons BARE: A POP OPERA will resume performances two weeks later than announced.  Performances at Dodger Stages (340 West 50th Street) will begin on Wednesday, October 27.  Productions in the four other theaters at Dodger Stages will open as scheduled.

Featuring an thrilling rock score by Damon Intrabartolo with lyrics by Jon Hartmere Jr and a book by Hartmere and Intrabartolo, BARE explores the pains and pleasures of five high school seniors at a co-ed Catholic boarding school as they struggle to grow up in these complicated times. Each of them question where they are in their lives. Answers are sought in the church confessional and in less formal venues including a stage, a rave, and a well-locked dorm room. BARE is directed by Kristin Hanggi.

In an unprecedented move for a New York musical, 11 complete songs from BARE are available now for download free of charge by visiting www.BareAPopOpera.com

When BARE was originally produced in Los Angeles, it was supposed to run for 32 performances at an 87-seat theater on Santa Monica Boulevard. Four months later, it had become a multi-award-winning sensation created by two 26-year-old writers and a 23-year-old director. This past spring BARE captivated New York audiences playing 10 sold out weeks at the American Theatre of Actors.

 
BARE is produced by Dodger Stage Holding and Jack Grossbart/Marc Schwartz. BARE Associate producers are William M. Apfelbaum and Amanda DuBois.

Full casting will be announced shortly.
