Creative Cauldron’s Summer Cabaret Series

Chris “JChris” Urquiaga

Gearing up for its upcoming 20th season, Virginia’s Creative Cauldron offers “a summer celebrating all things musical theatre.”

August and September’s lineup includes the company’s annual summer cabaret series featuring “some of the best talent the DMV theater scene has to offer,” curated by curator Matt Conner, local gay songwriter and Helen Hayes Award-winning director.

All shows take place in the company’s intimate theater space, but are also available to watch live this year for those unable to make it to the theater at specific times. Highlights below:
