Truly mind blowing, thanks for the call!

One very tense and well-done telephonic play. I did my best for Danny, although I think I may have made some poor choices for him despite meaning well. But that's life, isn't it?

This immersive theater event was LOTS of fun!! I didn't really know what to expect, and I was a little apprehensive doing something solo vs. with a group of participants. The actor was great, and I fell right into the story. I had plenty of opportunities to talk and interact, and the actor did a great job of keeping the story moving. I LOVED the ending, and have been telling lots of people about it. I am looking forward to anything else that the Candle House Collective chooses to present!

I absolutely loved the Claws experience. I wasn’t exactly sure what was going to be going into it and I think that made it more exciting. The acting was incredible, it was genuinely creepy and I only wish it had gone on longer. How it plays out is all up to you, the interaction is everything. I can’t wait until the next one.

I had the pleasure of participating in the CLAWS telephonic experience. It was truly a unique experience that I am so glad I experienced and look forward to more pieces of interactive theatre like this in the future. I'm an introvert and don't naturally feel super comfortable "performing", so knowing it would just be me and one other person had me a bit worried. But my actor put in a lot of work and made it possible for me to participate but never did I feel like I had to carry the whole show or participate in a way that was uncomfortable. Definitely recommend for a unique evening alone in the dark...

Claws was immersive to the highest degree, and scary as heck. Loved every minute of it.
