1932 Criterion Theatre

Hands down my favorite theater ever. Reminds me a lot of the great theater in Charleston. When judging, you have to think of what else is around it, which is to say not much. Bar Harbor is my favorite Summer destination, and some of that has to do with this theater.

Criterion Theater is a beautiful old theater in the heart of Bar Harbor. While it is closed during the pandemic, it is worth a visit and a place to enjoy a show. Spend some time looking at the detail in addition to whatever is playing.

She’s lovely, this Grand Dame of a vintage theatre.

Watching IT Chapter 2 here was such a cool experience. I'm sure watching any movie here would be! The theater itself from my understanding is one of the few buildings that is original after the fire they had a long time ago. Anything that was restored in the theater over the years was restored to look like it was before. Definitely recommend sitting up in the balcony section. The audio and image quality of the movie were just as good as any other theater you'd go to in a large City.

I really really want to like this place, but every time I go in, my nose ends up running like a faucet. The sound is not always great either. But I do love the fact that they bring interesting groups to town, and it's a good space for the local community theater
