City Lights Theater Company
City Lights Theater Company (CLTC) ignites audiences with provocative productions through innovative concepts, intimate staging, and powerful storytelling.
CLTC came to this redesign with a clear vision: a site that felt as bold and contemporary as their productions, while dramatically improving the patron experience from first impression to ticket in hand. We rebuilt their site from the ground up, stripping out the old iframe embed code from their previous ticketing provider and replacing it with integrated connectivity to UpStage CRM. The result is a seamless end-to-end patron journey, from browsing the season to purchasing tickets, managing season passes, and redeeming gift cards, all within a unified experience that reflects the CLTC brand at every touchpoint.
The redesign elevated every dimension of CLTC’s digital presence: a striking contemporary dark aesthetic that holds beautifully across all devices and lighting conditions, a donation ecosystem that supports one-time and recurring giving, and a patron account portal that puts self-service squarely in the hands of their audience. Stunning production photography anchors the experience, while streamlined navigation keeps conversion paths short and intuitive across desktop and mobile alike.

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.
