This experience is one I'd love to do again! Would recommend it to anyone who wants that last push! The experience is personal and left me thinking about it to this day even and the actor did an amazing job!

My last visit to this theater inspired me to write the essay . I remember how great was the actor game and the plot . I would recommend everyone to visit it .

Claws is creepy and well-acted. I was thoroughly engaged the whole time and would certainly recommend it. There are 2 things that could have improved it for me though. I had some questions after the show about things that happened, but I don't know of any way to ask those of the creative team. I also wish I'd known how personal it could get. Because I didn't know, I was reluctant to answer personal questions, and that ended up hindering the resolution of the show--if I'd somehow known that, I would have been more open/honest about those questions.

Thank you for the feedback, Ryan! In the confirmation/onboarding email you received prior to your experience, we note that participants can reach out to us via Instagram DM @candlehousecollective post-show with any questions, but we can try to make that more prominent. (If you still have those questions, we encourage you to reach out!) As far as the personal nature of the show, we do our best to note that as well – in the onboarding email, the orientation audio guide, and the ticketing process. However, if you have any thoughts about how we could make that clearer ahead of time, we'd love to hear them. On behalf of the Etcetera Helpline, thank you for lending a hand!
