'Secret Girl Stuff' bears witness to girlhood reluctantly transforming into womanhood and leaves you with the urge to hug your twelve-year-old self and tell her, "You're going to regret wrapping toilet paper around your underwear, but I promise it's a rite of passage."

After an oversold Sydney Fringe season (2023) and a highly acclaimed Sydney Theatre Debut at Flightpath Theatre (2024), 'Secret Girl Stuff' arrives in Melbourne after popular demand. Allow us to take you on a sightseeing tour that journeys through moments during girlhood that aided in our arrival to womanhood. Although this is a production written by a woman, about women, it is for everyone.
