“All of Velocity’s staff was so great to work with. Tech could not have been smoother. It was really lovely to be the producers of a show but have the space to focus on performing. Through both of the shows I was 100% confident that what needed handling was handled well by the team Velocity provided.”
– Callie Swedberg, Access Velocity Independent Producer
