The revamped revival of Bare will play its final performance on February 3 at off-Broadway’s New World Stages. Directed by Stafford Arima, Bare opened on December 9, 2012. The production will have played 21 previews and 65 regular performances at the time of closing.

Solomon as Father Mike, Barrett Wilbert Weed as Nadia, Casey Garvin as Zach, Justin Gregory Lopez as Beto, Michael Tacconi as Nick and Alex Wyse as Alan.
