About Us:

The Criterion Theatre built in 1932 is on the National Registry of Historic Places. The Theatre has 877 seats.

The Criterion Theatre was purchased by Anthony & Erin Uliano in May of 2007 and immediately turned over operation to The Criterion Theatre and Arts Center, a 501(C)3 non-profit corporation. The Uliano's and the non-profit signed a 99 year lease and Purchase Agreement, which allows the non-profit to purchase the theatre from The Uliano's within 10 years for the same price they paid without interest.

The Criterion Theatre and Arts Center mission is to make arts and theatre more accessible to all on Mount Desert Island and beyond through diverse programming, workshops, and community events
