Criterion Redevelopment: Announcement
Our wonderful building needs modernising to improve the experience of all our users. Now it's time to bring the Theatre into the 21st century with an improved layout, look and feel. Please help us make the Big Build happen.
We have a JustGiving page which you can donate to by visiting the website for our Criterion Theatre Big Build Campaign or contact Barbara at fundraising@criteriontheatre.co.uk if you want to discuss other ways of donating to the theatre.
This thoroughly entertaining rock musical with its dramatic score and fascinating storyline, has been thrilling theatre goers for years and is just as relevant today as when it was first produced.
Whilst dealing with some dark themes there are moments of hope and triumph so audiences are uplifted as well as moved. At its heart, the story celebrates family, forgiveness, resilience, and ultimately the extraordinary power of healing
The story of Tommy is timeless. The artistic vision of our production is a simplicity of set, costumes and props with the use of inspirational projection and lighting to complement and enhance the piece, with an emphasis on the cast to bring the characters to life through the wonderful music.
This production of Tommy exists outside the bounds of a specific time or place.
Roles still left
We have built up a fabulous company so far, but ideally we are still looking for a few more male voices (or female if you can hit those bass notes!) to enrich the ensemble.
Don't miss the final opportunity to be a part of this fabulous production. Music rehearsals are starting on August 3rd.
If you think you might be interested, just leave your details on this form and we will be in contact.
All ensemble audition material can be seen prior to auditions including sheet music, dialogue extracts, vocal and backing tracks.
EDI Assessment
In line with our EDI policy, we undertake an EDI impact assessment of all our artistic programming. The Who's 'Tommy' tells the story of the turbulent life of Tommy Walker, who witnesses a traumatic event in his childhood and consequently suffers loss of hearing, sight and speech. The play deals with some dark themes such as bullying and abuse. It involves a large ensemble cast with significant flexibility over playing ages, gender identity, and complete neutrality on race/ethnicity. For the purposes of the narrative, certain characters will be specified as needing to be female- or male- presenting.
