Whether you just want to support us and benefit as a frequent member of the audience or a member of the Criterion Company, we've a membership scheme for you.

Just curious? Come along to one of our New Member Evenings and learn about the many ways to be involved!

If you regularly enjoy our plays, support our events or are an existing member of The Criterion you’re already considered to be a valued part of our theatre family. And now you can help us further by becoming a Criterion Friend.

Using imaginative play, theatre games, visualisation and movement, role play and scripted action, the classes offer the opportunity for children to stretch and grow and experience the excitement of theatre.

Develop your theatre skills: Practise stage craft, vocal workshops, character work, scripted pieces, as well as learning about other theatre skills such as sound, lighting and wardrobe. You also have the chance to be on stage, back stage or front of house.
