Opening Tuesday, July 24 (to July 29, 8pm, $18/$15) for Halifax Pride is bare, a musical theatre production by Left of Centre Theatre telling the complicated story of two star-crossed high school seniors at a Catholic boarding school coming to terms with their sexualities, identities and beliefs. Director Tina Gallant dubs it a “Romeo and Juliet story,” highlighting the struggle of youth in love, but with the welcome addition of soaring harmonies. This week might be the last time the rights for the show will be available for several years, as bare will be starting its Broadway run in November. Catch it while you can at the Neptune Studio Theatre.
