Bare Theatre is a Raleigh-based company that began its first full season in 2005 with a Rogue Company production of Titus Andronicus, which was awarded runner-up for the top ten shows in 2005 by the News & Observer and The Classical Voice of North Carolina. Bare Theatre has continued to receive critical acclaim, most recently with its production of Twelfth Night in 2007 being named one of the year's ten best shows by the News & Observer and Othello in 2008, with one reviewer noting “As one young man said to his father at the play's close, ‘This felt real, Dad’" (Kathy Justice, Independent Weekly, 20 February 2008).

The mission of Bare Theatre is to form a group of artists dedicated to simple, eclectic, non-traditional and spontaneous theatre and to give audiences a clear, articulate and passionate experience of theatre with little more than a room, audience, actors, and text.
