TWITTER COMMENTARY FOR YOU:

@allysonmcgrane At opening for Post Secret: The Show @FirehallArtsCte + see lots of people (young crowd). #PSVancouver #yvr

@allysonmcgrane Show tagline is "Free your secrets and become who you are." Is that why we're invited to leave secrets on the bathroom mirror? #PSVancouver

REPLY FROM @PostSecretShow 
@AllysonMcGrane Yes! You can also fill out a postcard and place it in the mailbox in the lobby if you dare! #PSVancouver

@allysonmcgrane I'm thinking that sharing secrets may create intimacy but can also lead to heartache. #PSVancouver

@allysonmcgrane Created by Frank Warren, @postsecret was originally a community art project - total strangers sent in anonymous secrets by postcard.

@allysonmcgrane Led by creator/director TJ Dawe & creator Justin Sudds, I'm about to watch a 3-person cast begin telling secrets.

@allysonmcgrane I guess live tweeting is being projected on the screen - so hi to @Badger_Janzen & @cherylcereal & @LouiseAReilly. #PSVancouver 1 Favorite

The stories about keeping voicemails from dead loved ones KILLED me at #PSVancouver. I lost ones from my Dad when I upgraded 1 year. #badday

@allysonmcgrane @Hans_Ongsansoy I'm sorry you lost those messages... #PSVancouver

REPLY FROM @Hans_Ongsansoy

@AllysonMcGrane Thanks! A quirk was he always ID'd himself. 'Hi Hans, it's Dad.' I can almost hear that. You at the show? #PSVancouver

@allysonmcgrane Yik Yak is a new social network I recently heard about... It encourages anonymity. Inspired by @postsecret perhaps? #PSVancouver 1 Favorite

@allysonmcgrane The actors are onstage chatting with audience members now - sharing secrets? #PSVancouver

@allysonmcgrane Thinking about the social pressure to be happy on social media.... Was @postsecret onto something by inviting the freedom to share secrets?

@allysonmcgrane Some of the audience are writing secrets on the lobby... Each on is hoing into a mailbox & may be part of the show... #PSVancouver

@allysonmcgrane I'm overhearing a conversation about how the 2nd act secrets work. It's a process! #psvancouver

@allysonmcgrane Live on @postsecret right now - a confession about justifying Oreo binges cuz they are vegan. #PSVancouver #kindaodd

@allysonmcgrane The show is inspiring a lot of discussion... The @FirehallArtsCte stage is filled with bodies! #PSVancouver

REPLY FROM @Hans_Ongsansoy
@AllysonMcGrane @FirehallArtsCte Haha your #PostSecret is safe with me!!! #PSVancouver

@allysonmcgrane I overhear people discussing whether or not to leave a secret on a post-it note... One even claims to have no secrets. #PSVancouver

TWO COMMENTS FROM Facebook

FB1) One is a liar.

FB2) One keeps the juiciest secret from themselves. Tell them their secret and you set them free.
