Giving Tuesday is November 30, 2021.
But you can donate TODAY! We are partnering with the Catalogue for Philanthropy to Give Locally Together. Our Giving Tuesday webpage is up and running and ready for your donations. This year, we're setting our Giving Tuesday goal sky-high - dedicating the day for our inclusive camps and classes. We want the best teachers, plenty of supplies, and scholarships available to any family who may need them.

Thank YOU for your support! End of Year Campaign 2021
reIGNITE, reIMAGINE! We had to re-imagine all of our programming and figure out new ways to serve our patrons and students. We are actively working to re-imagine the way we operate as theater makers so we can widen our artistic circle and make sure everyone has an opportunity to share our voice, particularly People of Color, Indigenous, LGBTQ, women and those that have been marginalized in our community. And now we want to continue to re-ignite our commitment to: * providing a home for creativity in all of our programs * producing and presenting award winning theatrical and musical productions at affordable prices * offering inclusive educational programs and classes for all ages * giving free tickets to veterans and underserved patrons through organizations like VetTix, Homestretch and the Fenwick Foundation How will we do this? The same way we got through the pandemic--with the help of donors like you. With your support we will continue to fulfill our mission to give people of all ages, incomes and backgrounds opportunities to connect and grow through the arts. PS - any donor who gives more than $250 in 2021 will be invited to our special 20th Anniversary celebration Monday Feb. 14 - yes we want you to be our Valentine! |
Creative Cauldron was founded on the principle that the arts should be inclusive and affordable. We celebrate the intimate and humble space that we work in and try to bring you memorable experiences at ticket prices that encourage more frequent visits. We also reach out to those in our community who cannot afford to participate by offering complimentary tickets. We can do this work only through the gifts that we receive from generous patrons and supporters and I hope you will be able to help us with a gift today.
As I say in the curtain speech that I make before every performance, this success would not be possible without patrons like you. Thank you for helping bing people together in a way that only the arts can do.

“I want to sincerely thank Creative Cauldron and Vet Tix for providing me with the means to enjoy a wonderful show with my amazing wife. Monsters of the Villa Diodati was my first "musical" event and I was extremely skeptical and worried that I may not enjoy it - WRONG, it was fantastic and hopefully I will be lucky enough to obtain tickets to more shows in the future. ”

“During a post show Q&A last weekend, the kids got to respond to ‘Why do you do theater?’ My daughter's answer was that she liked coming to Creative Cauldron because she felt accepted and that it made her feel better to be there, especially when things were hard at school. I almost cried. I remain forever grateful that you have provided a place that makes her feel safe and accepted, that allows her to feel good about herself and to shine. You have given our family a priceless gift.”

“I would like to thank Creative Cauldron for your generous donation of complimentary tickets to Ruthless! The Musical. The tickets were used by residents of Manor Care / Arlington, a skilled nursing facility that serves low-income older adults, as well as women from Friends of Guest House in Alexandria, an organization that helps women make successful transitions from incarceration back into the community. It was a wonderful experience for these groups – who live on limited income and rarely have the opportunity to experience live theater. You provide such a unique theater and performance experience to the local community.”
- Alex Gorny, Fenwick Foundation |
