"bare, the musical" is a coming of age story of two high school seniors, Peter, a socially awkward loner, and Jason, the golden-boy popular jock. It depicts the reality of adolescence, as the youths struggle to find themselves amidst the pressures within their Catholic boarding school. They deal with their sexuality, their friendships and at the end of the year find themselves thrust into a world with more questions than answers.

CRAP CASTING
Fri, 18 July 2008, 04:21 pmWalter Plinge
Im sorry to hear people trash talk but when it comes to this show i would have to say the way the auditions were held were so so ridiculous. Not only did the woman playing the musical director have no idea what she was doing. People yet again in the tradition of Beauty and the Beast were promised parts. Im sorry but this is so unprofessional and without naming names im sorry but TYLER for you to recieve a phone call from Kristen as the director and then winge and moan about not getting the part and then have Kristen turn around and be silly enough to offer you this part im sorry but this musical is vocal and you most definately have the voice to pull off the strongest part and shame on you if you think by whining and complaining to the director that you will get the part every time then you really need a reality check. 2 people were promised parts in this show and both recieved call backs both recieved parts. The Priest was cast as a Baritone and the part is a Tenor... and Kristens words i dont want and students that are currently studying in the show as i want a focused cast yet there are 2 WAAPA students that have been cast ... i guess its their loss because WAAPA will see their real commitment to the institute and wont ever get into BA. i think this show was very badly cast and the way things were done were very very unprofessional. I wish this show so so so much luck because you really need it .... and this isnt sour grapes i didnt even audition i just hear these things in the grapevine
