Criterion Theatre

Staying Covid-Safe at the Criterion

 

Looking after our cast, crew, front of house teams and audiences is our top priority. 

Key Safety Features

  • A less crowded auditorium We have configured our auditorium to hold a maximum of 101 seats (80% of our usual capacity)  and have restricted 3 mid week nights to 57 seats (50% capacity). These seats are spaced 1m+ apart with clear indications where there are seats that should not be occupied.
  • Digital-only and advance purchase tickets only.
  • Front of house staff will have a list of ticket purchasers for each performance, which will act as the track and trace notification. Front of house staff will greet audience members at the door and manage flow of people in, out and around our theatre building.
  • An enhanced and deep cleaning regime. This includes professional cleaning of the theatre before the production run and strict cleaning protocols for all team members front of house and back stage. Cleaning records will show when each area has been cleaned.
  • Provision of hand sanitiser stations for all to use and increased hygiene protocols for all teams.
  • PPE provision - volunteer staff will be provided with protective face coverings.
  • A bar app. Drinks from the bar will be ordered through an internet-based app and delivered to a collection station in the foyer. Drinks for the show and for after the show can be pre-ordered in advance using the app.
  • Wearing masks when possible. People should wear masks when moving around the theatre building. We also encourage people to continue wearing masks when watching the production.
