Creative Cauldron

In a city full of conformist government bureaucrats or technocrati who are largely left-​brained-​ruled, it’s hard to find locally-​grown art, music, dance, and bohemian culture.
Enter Creative Cauldron into the culturally-​emaciated landscape of Washington DC .
How terrific to find this living-​room sized, arena stage. The performance space here is intimate, the atmosphere eclectic, and the walls, covered in creations of local artists.
The theater is located in a colorless, modern edifice on a backstreet in Falls Church. It’s just a block from Pizzeria Orso. The entry lobby has a small bar serving wine/​beer. The inner chamber is the theater, with a full set of lights and good acoustic capabilities.
(After theater performances Pizzeria Orso is closed, so you have to back to pubs at Broad Street.)
The show I saw, of Kamel Zennia and Band (an Algerian folk/​rock band) was delightful and allowed space for a bit of dancing in the front of the stage. The audience seats maybe 60 to 70 max? I am reminded of performance-​spaces I have been to in the great arts-​culture city, Minneapolis, where local talent is showcased to appreciative local audiences.
They have a ticket booth on site, but most shows have online ticket sales.
I can’t wait to go back!

This fabulous little theater in Falls Church is a real charmer. The productions are very well done for community theater, and I love how they do so many plays productions featuring local children.
Tickets do sell out (it’s a tiny venue) so reserve them online.

Creative Cauldron is a treasure trove of talent combined with a remarkable commitment to the education of aspiring thespians (ages 6 — 13). «Oliver Twist» and «Peter Pan and Wendy» both featured the compositions of the incomparable Matt Connor. The quality of the productions at this little theatre exceed any reasonable expectations for local theatre. Treat yourself to a fabulous experience and pay Creative Cauldron a visit.
