EXTRACT: Now the reason we choose to start our show in the rehearsal room is you the audience are going to take an active part in the drama. That doesn't mean getting onstage and making a fool of yourself you know... wearing stupid costumes, making you do stupid things, oh no, we would never make you do that. (The actor teachers step forward.) What we're going to do is refine you, make you feel safe. Costume you in delicate fabrics which will make you all look so stunningly beautiful.

EXTRACT: I remember my first kiss. I'd never thought it would come ...I erm, had wanted to do it for ages. And I'd wanted to do it with one person in particular, you know? I liked this person, this girl for so long. We'd been all the way through primary school together and erm. I'd sent her Valentine's Day cards, you know. Grade Five, Grade Six and Grade Seven. I honestly believed she had no idea it was me who was giving it, you know. I'd written it with my left hand.

EXTRACT: And the thought of Brian. I mean, Brian was sweet and all and cute, but I don't know, it was Brian. Brian. Jeez. So, it the was the day before the school dance. We were in class the second last day of school. And I was packing it. I was packing it a lot. This was the last day on earth of me being a kissing virgin. I remember I said this to Paula and she said, "Just think of it as an adventure, Milly. Just think of it as an adventure."

EXTRACT: It was the night of the dance. I'd showered three times. Washed my hair four times. I'd even used my Mum's razor to shave the top layer of skin off my face. I truly imagined there was hair there. I remember wiping down the mirror in the bathroom. I stood there just wrapped in a towel. Two towels actually. One around my waist and one around my head. I'd seen my mum do it. And if she did it before a date, that was the thing to do.
