New World Stages Stage IV
340 West 50th Street New York, NY 10019

Keeping secrets always ends the same. With a pulsating rock score, BARE is the story of a group of teens as they wrestle with their identities, sexuality and religion at a co-ed Catholic boarding school. As their final year of high school draws to a close, they attempt to navigate the complex road from adolescence to adulthood and must then deal with the consequences of their choices as they prepare to take the next step in their lives. BARE unfolds as a gripping and provocative new musical, where answers are sought in church confessionals, late night parties and well-locked dorm rooms.



BARE had its world premiere at the Hudson Theater in Los Angeles, CA, where it began performances in October 14, 2000 and ran through February 25, 2001. Following the Los Angeles production, BARE began its run at the American Theatre of Actors (Chernuchin Theatre) on March 25, 2004. It opened April 19, 2004 and played through May 27, 2004. BARE has since had more than 100 productions worldwide.
