provides quality and affordable musical dieater to Rutgers
students and die communities of Central New Jersey.

Bure: A Pop Opera, marks LTC’s 46di main stage produc¬
tion, and we remain proud to represent die Livingston Cam¬
pus, Rutgers University, and premiere
musical dieater in die Middlesex county area.

Our mission is to inspire diose who are passionate about
dieater to pursue tiieir dreams while also encouraging diose
who are new to die dieater world to explore.

We at die LTC are a family, and we are honored to have you
join us for tiiis performance. Enjoy!

A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR

“And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.” - Stephen Chbosky

Believed to be written between 1591 and 1595, Shakespeare’s Romeo and
Juliet is still today’s most influential love story where die diemes of fate, dreams, love,
destiny and tragedy are all bound together. No matter how drastic die adaptation, the love
story remains - widi that let’s switch out Juliet and introduce a new love story between
Romeo and Mercutio.

Welcome to Saint Cecilia’s Catholic High School die setting for, BARE: A Pop
Opera. Here we are introduced to our two lovers, Peter and Jason forced to keep their
love a secret because of the judgments and rules of society and the church. BARE follows
not only die two lovers, but also a wide variety of high school students dial want to make
an impact in the world and prove what their voices should be heard and taken seriously.
The journey travels from die pews of the church, die hallways of school, the woodworks
of the dorm rooms, a confined confessional and die fantastical world of Peter’s fantasies
and dreams. BARE intertwines an unbelievable dream world of love and happy endings
widi die world we wake up and see today, “where dreamers often lie.”

Today’s society is constandy faced widi real-life tragedies in which young, ho¬
mosexual teenagers cannot be diemselves or accept who they are and want to be. For die
next two hours, absorb yourself into die safe environment diat is die dieatre, “here in a
world where diere’s safety and falsehood,” where you will experience a glimpse of reality
in die lives of diese students walking die hallways of Saint Cecilia’s. But as you leave die
dieatre, remember that diese sorts of events are real - teenagers don’t always have a place
to turn to for help or an oudet to just be themselves.

Putting up diis production has been a dream of mine for about four years now
and diere a number of people diat need to be thanked for malting it happen. Katie and
Sarah - thank you for your hard work and support diroughout diis process; widiout you
diis vision couldn’t come to life. Alex, Eve and Nick - all of your design and hard work
for this show is much appreciated! Thank you! Nicole - Pm so happy to be working widi
you on our last show at LTC; diis is definitely die best one yed Melanie and James -
diere is no one else in die world diat I would have liked to costume diis show. Forrest,
Patrick, Kristen and Daniel - diank you guys so much for always being there and dedicat¬
ing yourselves to diis production! John - not only do I thank you for being a part of diis
cast, but a fantastic friend and endless backbone for die company - not to mention all of
the fantastic work you have done for die ItGetsBetter Foundation. Jerry - this production
would fall apart widiout you; diank you for doing endless amount of work to keep me on
schedule and make sure diose transitions are seamless. Carl - it has been an amazing
experience working widi you and creating a vision between us. Especially widi a com¬
pletely sung diru show, it was great to develop and unite our ideas for “one vision” -
diank you for your constant hard work and dedication to this production. To my incredi¬
ble cast - you are all so talented, dedicated, and I can’t diank you enough for trusting me
to take you on diis journey. You are all amazing artists, singers and actors; can’t wait for
die next time we work together. These performances are yours; live in die moment, make
it fresh, and tell die story!

And now I invite you to enjoy BARE: A Pop Opera - and ask yourself what world you
want to live in; reality or your colorful dream world? And does love really conquer all?

Corey Rubel

k NOTE FROM THE PiODyCESS

At our most recent LTC Leadership Retreat, our advisor spoke to us, the execu¬
tive board, about the importance of an organization’s What, it’s How, and it’s
Why. We watched a TED Talks video and the speaker repeated the same
plirase numerous times: “People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do
it.” At first, the four of us were extremely confused and gave each other blank
stares, but then we started evaluating our product and our purpose and here is
what we came up with:

Our What is fantastic productions, made possible by a challenging audition,
rehearsal, and technical process. The performance you will see tonight, as well
as all other LTC productions, is held to the liighest standard and has the liighest
production value possible. LTC believes in providing an incredible product at
an affordable price.

Our How is by getting as many students involved as possible. By reacliing out to
as many interested students that Rutgers can provide, we create our What.

Our Why is to create a brilliant and inclusive community where any student can
express themselves in a safe environment and feel pail of a family. Together, we
collaborate and create awesome musical productions, and through the process
we achieve our Why of establisliing our family.

People don’t buy what we do, they buy why we do it. As fantastic as an LTC
production is, we believe our patrons continue to support the Livingston Thea¬
tre company, show after show, because they support our dream of creating a
community of expression and acceptance, and recognize that our productions
are simply a means to lliis end.

Bare truly embodies our Why. By working together to create an ItGetsBetter
video, by collaborating with a professional producer of the show to bring profes¬
sional actors to our Sunday performance to sing two new songs from the newest
version of the show, and by choosing Bare in the first place, LTC is truly living
it’s Why. Tliis outstanding production has allowed us to continue creating our
loving community to the greatest possible extent, and to reach out to as many
people as possible.

Thank you for attending this special production and being a part of our
Livingston Theatre Company community. If tliis is your first show with us, wel¬
come and thanks lor joining! If you’ve seen one or more of our previous pro¬
ductions, thank you for your continued support and continued membersliip in
our community. All support is appreciated and valued to the lughest degree.

Your 201 1-2012 Producers,
