There are many small theatres hidden in hutongs in Beijing, offering excellent and creative dramas and performances everyday. They are good options for people who love arts. The Drum Tower West Theatre (DTWT) is one of them, which is a young “black box theatre” founded in 2013. It is located at a peaceful corner of Xiaobadaowan Hutong, alongside the Gulou West Street, surrounded by historic sites and prosperous commercial blocks. It can accommodate as many as 243 people. Right outside the theatre You He Li Café will provide you an ideal place for peaceful reading.
