Following government advice about Coronavirus, the Criterion Theatre is currently closed to the public until further notice.

While our 2020 season of productions has been postponed, we hope that these will be up and running in 2021, coinciding with our 60th anniversary year.

Meanwhile, we continue to be a hub of creativity and social support. There are lots of activities taking place including virtual play readings, members’ social events and we hope to have some online broadcasts and other exciting pieces to be sharing with you over the next few months.

Right now, we are dealing with the devastating impact of the lockdown. However, we're confident we will see this through because we are such a strong and committed theatre family. We recognise that this is a difficult time for many of us. However, if you are able to consider making a donation by clicking on the link at the top of this page, it would be hugely appreciated.
