We know you have a secret.

Do you still sleep with a teddy bear? Did you have sex with your high school math teacher? Do you wish your brother would die?

Whatever your secret — big or small — PostSecret: The Show will give you a chance to share it on February 13. We chatted with the master secret sharer himself, PostSecret founder Frank Warren, about the PostSecret movement.

$25-$45. Feb. 13, 7:30 p.m. Ferguson Hall at Straz Center for the Performing Arts, 1010 N. W.C. McInnes Place, Tampa. 813-229-STAR. strazcenter.org

Why did you start PostSecret?
"I can find a number of origin stories and starting points. I've always been fascinated by postcards. In my own family we always kept secrets, and there were secrets kept from me. Maybe the deepest reason for starting the project was that I came to understand maybe I had a secret I was hiding from myself. It was through this community art project … that I could unbury parts of my past."

Warren said he received a postcard once with a photo of a bedroom door with holes in it. The sender revealed the holes came from when his mother tried to break down the door to keep beating him.

"I was reminded through all these strangers that when I was growing up, I had actually two of those doors," Warren said. "And for the first time I really understood there're two kinds of secrets; the ones we hide from others and the ones we keep from ourselves."

What will the show at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts include?
"We have some very inspiring stories [that] in the end, I hope is not just a celebration of secrets but a celebration of human spirit.[…] What we try to do with the show is share the best stories [and] narratives. The show itself is performed by three actors and we have a guitarist onstage. We have music, video, [and] postcards that have never been shared before.

"The whole play itself is crowdsourced and nonfiction. Everything the performers share with the audience has come from people's lives. It's really an experimental show where actors have a chance to share their secrets with the audience," Warren said. "In some ways, it reminds me of seven years ago, when PS was one of the very first books to come from a blog. Now we have a performance pieces that come from the digital wall."

Audience members will have the opportunity to write their secrets and have their secrets read back to them in the second act.

What's the most powerful postcard you've ever received?
"I think that's going to be different for every person. I like the funny stories I hear. Secrets can connect people in surprising way. Secrets have this tremendous power to changes lives, to bring people together. The ones that allow us to see our lives differently, and change it. I remember one secret — [that said] 'I didn't know I was in an abusive relationship until I realized I had lost all my opinions'."

If you could only remember one of all the secrets you've read, which would you choose?
"This was a message that said something like 'I save all the voice mail on my cell phone because I never know when they'll be the last one from someone I love.' Almost immediately, I started getting emails from people from around the world, sharing messages they'd been saving, sometimes for years. I received dozens and dozens of these haunted voices kept alive by technology. [In the show] we have a composition made up of these different voices that present themselves to the audience …in a way that's the most haunting.

Have you ever wished you could intervene?
"Almost all the post cards come anonymously, so it's tough to reach out. I don't think most people want me to respond, they just want a safe place where they can be judged."

Sometimes, though, Warren receives messages, and he does occasionally reach out. Here's an example:
