The parents have been essential to this process. Without their help, this never would have come together.

It's refreshing for me to try something that's different and also to expose audiences who want to see something that's funny. The Vagina Monologues only come around once a year so now we have something else to offer to those people who want to see stuff like that.

The thing I remember most about middle school was how tough it was. You're not quite an adult, but you're not a kid anymore. I try to treat these kids with the respect I would have wanted at that age. These kids ? sorry, young adults ? are very sharp, and they deserve my respect.

I like it because it's really funny. It's a bunch of monologues for women, a whole range of age and body image and race as well. It's just hilarious.

Please do not touch anybody else's props. If it's your prop, touch away. Touch, touch, touch, touch, touch.
