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 was the most mind blowing theater, I’ve ever experienced. Jared Anthony was brilliant as Danny!! Thank you Candle House Collective!

I did CLAWS and it was so fun!! I'm a HUGE fan of horror audio dramas and it really felt like I was in one! I like how you get a part so you're able to get into character really feel immersed in the horror. Would totally do this again with a different storyline/challenge.

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!

Incredible, immersive experience. The intimacy and connection with the actor was both scary and exciting - his performance is what really makes it so effective. Sat in silence for a while after, working through what had just happened!

This is a deeply provocative and disturbing immersive horror experience. During the conversation, I wrestled with my own demons and explored my own concept of the "self." It's a lot of fun, too, with moments of rich humor and humanity. Highly recommended for those who love a creative and cathartic psychological challenge.
