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