The charitable objectives ofThe Criterion Theatre Limited are:	The charitable objectives ofThe Criterion Theatre Limited are:
1.	To educate the public in the dramatic and operatic arts
2.	To further the development of public appreciation and taste in the said arts.
We achieve these objectives through the following means (some ofwhich have been curtailed this year due to
the pandemic lockdown):
~	An annual programme of in-house productions: Productions are openly presented to the public. The
	programme is selected carefully to present to the general public, a wide variety of dramatic genres
	and the use of work by both classic playwrights and the most up to date writers. This is to ensure the widest public, educative and developmental potential ofthe programme. The varied programme of in-
	house productions also offers educative opportunities to the cast and crew in developing their on and
	offstage skills and competencies.
	Volunteering opportunities; The Theatre runs solely on the basis of volunteer activity. There are
	opportunities for the public to be involved, by joining as members, in all aspects of Theatre activity.
	This involves the core activity of productions (cast and crew), but also support functions (e.g. running
	the bar, box office, front of house, health and safety, cleaning, events team etc.).This has educative
	value in allowing people to be involved in how a theatre works, increasing appreciation for dramatic
	arts.
~	Children's drama classes from school years 3 to 10 (aged 7 to 15): Open to the general public.
	Workshops teaching a range of drama skills. A showcase of their learning over the year is presented
	towards the end of the Summer term. There are opportunities for drama class students to participate
	in relevant in-house productions. Core educative value for children in educating them about drama,
	plays, acting and developing appreciation for dramatic arts into their lives.
	Training opportunities in the dramatic arts: The Theatre hosts regular New Members Nights when the
	public can come along and find out about what activities the Theatre is engaged in. Individuals are
	encouraged to become members of the Theatre to get involved in all on stage and off stage aspects
	of production regardless of levels of previous experience. Relevant in-house training is offered.
	Involvement in the local Coventry community: This includes providing a free ofcharge one-off meeting
	venue for local groups. The Theatre is also a sponsor of the annual Earlsdon community festival. Connections with Coventry University have also been established. This facilitates the Theatre's
	community involvement and expands the public reach of the dramatic activities undertaken by the
	Theatre, thus contributing to achieving its charitable objectives.
	A venue for external theatre companies and other artistic events (e.g. travelling theatre companies,
	independent film-makers, musicians, dance troupes): This provides educative value in expanding the
	exposure ofthe public to a variety of dramatic and artistic endeavours.
	The running of a licensed bar, open two evenings a week and during all productions and events. This
	trading activity is deemed to be secondary and only in furtherance of our charitable objectives.
In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guide on public benefit, including the guidance on fee charging. The charity relies on ticket and refreshment sales and membership subscriptions to cover its operating costs. In setting the level of charges
and concessions, the Trustees give careful consideration to the accessibility of the events it programmes for
those on low incomes.
