TESTIMONIALS

“Working at the VORTEX was an integral element that made Twelfth Night one of the most satisfying of my theatrical career. While the show would most likely have been great staged anywhere, it would have been a different show entirely. At the VORTEX, I felt at home. There is such a sincere effort to make artists feel like they have a home from everyone on staff. The support is complete and genuine. The size and proximity of the audience is intimate without being claustrophobic, and the set up allows for a lot of choices and creativity in staging. I would eagerly embrace the opportunity to work there again.”
-Barbara Chisholm-Faires

“VORTEX is my theatrical home in Austin and the womb of my last six plays for at least three reasons: Bonnie Cullum, the folks that make up the VORTEX company, and the theatre space itself. Bonnie is one of the most professional and dependable people I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. Her love theatre, theatre people and Austin shines through the fifteen-year miracle that is The VORTEX. The company members run the front, back, middle, heart, mind and soul of The VORTEX and their passion shows in the work they do and the love they give. The space itself is intimate and uniquely Austin. What can I say? I fucking love the VORTEX.”
