I had the pleasure of seeing the final dress rehearsal of the Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian Theatre Festival’s production of Bare : A Pop Opera, a wonderful musical which looks at the life of a group of high school seniors; the story focuses on two homosexual high school students and their struggles at their private, Catholic boarding school.

I would be lying if I said I was not moved by this show.  I fell in love with the music a year or so ago, when I first heard a song called “Are you There” on an online radio station.  It was a real treat to be able to see the show, on stage; live theatre always brings a whole new dimension to the songs you hear on the soundtrack.

The show is well acted, by a fantastic group of actors.  As of this writing, the show is still running; I highly, highly recommend seeing it.  You can get more information at http://www.pgltf.org .  I hope to see it again next week.
