ROLE AVAILABLE (Must be 18+ & able to convincingly play high school age): ZACK: student, jock (Baritone) ALL ETHNICITIES & GENDER INDENTITIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO AUDITION Directed by Co-Artistic Director Brian Westerley Musical Direction by Dave Stebbins Choreography by Kristy Cruz Book & Music: Damon Intrabartolo Book & Lyrics: Jon Hartmere Performance Dates: July 13-28. Fridays & Saturdays at 8PM; Sunday at 6:30PM Rehearsals start May 14th. 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. Please prepare a song in the style of the show, BUT NOT FROM THE SHOW. Your audition will also consist of a cold reading from the script.
