JCC presents "bare -- the Musical"
Jackson Community College Drama Club students will take an interesting look at the lives of several Catholic boarding school students when they present “bare – the Musical,” at 8 p.m. Dec. 11, 12, 13 and 14 in the Ruth Day Theatre, Potter Center.
“bare: The Musical’ follows a group of high school students at a Catholic boarding school as they deal with age-related issues – social acceptance, sexual identity, questioning of religion and adults, experimentation with illegal substances, and raging hormones. At the center of this tale are Peter and Jason, roommates and lovers. Peter longs to come out and bring their relationship to light, while popular overachiever Jason can't bear to bare his secret to the world. Their struggles, along with those of their classmates, are told against the backdrop of pop music selections.
