Bare follows a group of students at a Catholic boarding school as they grapple with issues of sexuality, identity, and the future. The show rings with the sounds of youthful repression and revolt. With a unique sung-through pop score, heart-pounding lyrics, and a cast of bright young characters; Bare is a provocative, fresh, and utterly honest look at the dangers of baring your soul, and the consequences of continuing to hide.
