Bare: A Pop Opera

Book by Jon Hartmere and Damon Intrabartolo

Music by Damon Intrabartolo

Lyrics by Jon Hartmere

- A group of high school seniors at a Catholic boarding school faces issues of sexuality and personal identity. As they struggle to come to terms with who they are, and who the world thinks they should be, they seek answers from their Church, their friends, and ultimately, from within themselves. Its rich, vibrant score draws on many styles of contemporary music.

Miles, Damon Intrabartolo & Kristin Hanggi), John Ottman & Donnie Land. Directed by Kristin Hanggi. Original Los Angeles concert reading directed by Mischa Pfister in June, 1999.
