bare is, at its heart, an operatic love story. The coming of age of two high school seniors and their struggles at their private, Catholic boarding school, Peter, a socially awkward loner, and Jason, the golden-boy popular jock.

Set in a Catholic boarding school, the show centres on a group of friends during their senior year. Altar boy Peter is in love with his roommate Jason, one of the most popular kids in school. They are carrying on a closeted romance but Peter wants to go public with their affair, at least to his mother, whom he loves dearly.

Jason isn't so keen on the idea, as he feels that his entire world would crumble if word of the relationship got out.

Things get more complicated when Ivy makes a play for Jason. Her rejected suitor Matt discovers the secret that Peter and Jason have been keeping and it's only a matter of time before things start to spin out of control.

This pop musical takes audiences on a voyage through Peter and Jason’s journey of self discovery, sexuality, the struggles and pressures of adolescence. Each of them question where they are in their lives and what the future holds in store. Answers are sought in the church confessional and in less formal venues including a stage, a rave, and a well-locked dorm room.
