“I want to sincerely thank Creative Cauldron and Vet Tix for providing me with the means to enjoy a wonderful show with my amazing wife. Monsters of the Villa Diodati was my first "musical" event and I was extremely skeptical and worried that I may not enjoy it - WRONG, it was fantastic and hopefully I will be lucky enough to obtain tickets to more shows in the future. ”

“During a post show Q&A last weekend, the kids got to respond to ‘Why do you do theater?’ My daughter's answer was that she liked coming to Creative Cauldron because she felt accepted and that it made her feel better to be there, especially when things were hard at school. I almost cried. I remain forever grateful that you have provided a place that makes her feel safe and accepted, that allows her to feel good about herself and to shine. You have given our family a priceless gift.”

“I would like to thank Creative Cauldron for your generous donation of complimentary tickets to Ruthless! The Musical. The tickets were used by residents of Manor Care / Arlington, a skilled nursing facility that serves low-income older adults, as well as women from Friends of Guest House in Alexandria, an organization that helps women make successful transitions from incarceration back into the community. It was a wonderful experience for these groups – who live on limited income and rarely have the opportunity to experience live theater. You provide such a unique theater and performance experience to the local community.”
