BARE: but is it bare enough?
by Virag Dombay
- Jun 4, 2018
Set in a private Catholic boarding high-school, Bare is a contemporary electric, confronting LGBT pop-rock musical with examines the struggles teenagers grapple with such as sexuality, identity and growing up. At its heart is the budding romance between Peter, who is formulating a plan on how and when to come out to his mother and Jason, who wants to hide their love away in fear of losing his position in the social ladder, as well as the respect from his classmates. These star-crossed lovers, coincidently, happen to be rehearsing a production of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet at school, a script which enhances, as well as awakens, their own inner battles with themselves and their adolescent life. Thus, it makes it relevant in our contemporary political climate, in which love is not always accepted in all of its forms and for what it truly is; love.

by Jason Carlos
- May 12, 2016
The new spring programming at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts begins with the return of Neil Simon's THE ODD COUPLE. This comedic classic of polar opposite friends-turned-roommates is an illustration of what Soulpepper does best - which is why this encore is on stage again until June 11. Starring Founding Artistic Director of Soulpepper, Albert Schultz as infamous slob Oscar Madison, and fellow Founding Member, Diego Matamoros as the level-headed and neurotic Felix Ungar, THE ODD COUPLE assembles some of Soulpepper's best for a near-flawless night of classic comedy.
