Payson Lewis who plays Peter in <i>Bare</i>! He actually can't drink beer since he is gluten-free, so this is proof of how good an actor he is. He also makes me cry every night when he sings "Absolution." — Payson Lewis who plays Peter in Bare! He actually can't drink beer since he is gluten-free, so this is proof of how good an actor he is.

In our show, the actors playing the supporting roles have crafted very intricate storylines for themselves.
