Owner & Performer - Vau d'vile Drag Cabaret
"Caitie is what I would call ‘part of the Vau family’. I’m the Director of Vau d’vile Drag Cabaret, Australia’s only drag artist owned and produced venue.
Not only do I require excellence from all my staff in their respective disciplines, I also require them to be LGBTQIA+ advocates, which Caitie is.
As a performing artist, producer, manager, administrator, teacher and performer I have high expectations and Caitie meets them all.
You, as I have been, would be lucky to work with her."

"Working with Caitie Murphy is pure joy. Her professionalism, communication and commitment to production is exceptional.
She is highly efficient with a focused eye for detail in both administrative and theatrical skill-based production work, and understands, maintains and anticipates the unique support requirements of all cast and crew.
I highly value and continue to rely on her intelligent and intuitive input on all matters of production. Caitie’s generous, positive, solution-based attitude and pro-active energy makes her an essential asset to my production team. There is no doubt in my mind that Caitie can do anything!"
Adam Marsh
Director - The Drunkards
"Caitie is a passionate & exceptional stage manager who can do a lot with very little.
As a director, I felt more focused & comfortable knowing that Caitie could act as an extension of myself to keep the actors grounded, and organise the essentials for each show.
Without her diligent organisation & skillset, the season of The Drunkards would no doubt be far less polished.
I highly recommend Caitie to anyone in need of a stage manager that is confident, talented & reliable."

“Caitie is sunshine wrapped up in a warm hug!
Working alongside her in Law & Order: PTV presented some of the most entertaining and enjoyable moments of my artistic career.
Above all, her commitment to the show, the cast and the audience was most inspiring. A rehearsal and performance was never left unamused by the presence of Caitie as our Stage Manager.”
Amanda Dhammanarachchi
Actor - Love of the Nightingale, The Bacchae & The D'Oh Show
"I’ve worked on three shows (as of writing this) with Caitie. Each one has had it’s ups and downs, as they do, but Caitie was definitely a highlight in each.
She is professional when it comes to her role; she ensured we as actors were up to date on everything we needed to know and ran things smoothly backstage during productions.
She is also very kind, caring and easy to talk to. She made sure to take our own personal situations into account, and was perceptive of peoples needs (both actors and other crew) during rehearsal and production.
Caitie definitely was an asset to each of these shows, both as a professional SM, and as a cool person."

Monique Cheng
Co-Stage Manager - The Bacchae
"Caitie is one of the most hard working stage managers I have ever met.
She went above and beyond for our team multiple times - including filling in as lighting operator, attending every rehearsal (even while sick in the middle of semester) and voluntarily transporting cast + crew from venue to venue.
She puts 200% into every project, and is always eager to be there in the present. She is such a wonderful soul and beautiful person."
