bare a pop opera continues at Western Reserve Playhouse
by Dawn Yamokoski 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Come and join us for our second weekend of bare- a pop opera at Western Reserve Playhouse!! Our audiences are falling in love with this wonderful musical! Western Reserve Playhouse presents the emotional drama bare with Music by Damon Intrabartolo, Lyrics by Jon Hartmere and Book by Jon Hartmere and Damon Intrabartolo. The show will run July 13-28. As part of their commitment to community awareness, WRP is partnering with the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) to bring you this show. In doing so, WRP & GLSEN will be holding talkbacks after the performances on July 14th, 22nd and 27th. These talkbacks will include the ability to talk with the cast and director, as well as different representatives from GLSEN. A pulsating, electric contemporary rock musical, bare follows a group of students at a Catholic boarding school as they grapple with issues of sexuality, identity and the future. Peter and Jason have fallen in love with each other, but Jason - a popular athlete - fears losing his status if he is discovered to be gay. Unpopular Nadia, Jason’s sister, is contemptuous of Ivy, a beautiful girl with a questionable reputation. As the group attempts to put up a production of Romeo and Juliet, tensions flare, self-doubt simmers and God’s path seems more difficult to find than ever. bare 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. Co-Artistic Director Brian Westerley directs this stunning piece, with Musical Direction by Dave Stebbins and Choreography by Kristy Cruz. Tackling the roles of Peter & Jason are Nick Urbanic & Nick Sobotka, respectively. Bringing her own unique take to Nadia is Korinne Courtwright & stunningly portraying Ivy is Laney Davis. The other students are played by Dominic Sonby, Daniel Hunsicker, Kayla Lehman, Khylee Kridler, Olivya DeLuca, Brooke Lytton, Austin Hopson and Ben Arrington. Rounding out the cast are Stephanie Malfara, David Rusnak and Dayshawnda Ash as Sister Chantelle. The show contains adult language and themes. Show Times: 8PM Fridays & Saturdays; 6:30PM Sunday. Tickets: $17.00 Adults; $15.00 Seniors & Students. To reserve tickets, please visit our website: www.westernreserveplayhouse.org
