Creating theater and programs that engage, ignite, and celebrate.

Berkeley Playhouse

Berkeley Playhouse sought to harmonize its dual identity as both a premier professional theater company and a leading performing arts conservatory. To support their mission of creating “theatre for all ages,” our team developed a comprehensive digital platform that serves as a high-traffic box office and a vibrant educational portal. The site was engineered to showcase the artistic excellence of their MainStage professional productions while providing a structured, easy-to-navigate environment for their extensive Youth Company programs.

We focused on building a cohesive user journey that allows families and patrons to transition effortlessly between purchasing show tickets and enrolling in year-round classes or summer camps. By refining the site architecture to accommodate a high volume of media and scheduling data, we ensured that the Playhouse’s commitment to community and education is front and center. The resulting web presence effectively communicates the Playhouse’s unique role as a place where professional artistry and youth development thrive under one roof.

Speed Sells

Don’t Sacrifice Speed for Beauty

Great design is crucial, but it’s not the whole story. Many arts organizations choose agencies solely on design strength, neglecting the critical role of development. This often results in stunning websites that crawl on mobile or load painfully slow.

At Venture, we understand the unique needs of arts & culture clients. We deliver award-winning design coupled with lightning-fast performance.
