CAST TESTIMONIALS

"Being a Vaud-Villities performer for the past 10 years has been a joy! Without much previous theater experience, I’ve learned to dance, sing and be a comedian! Best part of it all is contributing to the creative process to create a show from costumes, to props, to sets, script, fundraising and even serving on the board! What is even more warming than the applause? Great friendships that I’ve made!"
