Emma Wheaton (Actor & Co-Producer)
What surprised you the most about being in SExT? I was most surprised by how easy it was. I expected there to be limits or stiffness in the topics but we talked about anything and everything without censors, so it was easy to learn and have fun. I also still remember all of the information I learned a year and a half later and I hope i will keep the info with me for the rest of my life! Why is SExT important? SExT is important because I believe being conservative and avoiding discussion is harmful. People need to be informed so they can make the right decisions for themselves, and themselves only. SExT opens up a discussion. What’s the best part about acting on stage? I loved acting on stage in SExT because I feel very confident and I feel like people are listening to me. I know that all my cast members have my back. |
