Founded in 1988 by famed puppeteer Allie Scollon and her son John, the Columbia Marionette Theatre (CMT) has established itself as a premiere children’s theatre in South Carolina. Their mission is to entertain and educate children and adults through the long-standing tradition and artistry of puppetry.
As a beloved South Carolina cultural institution, the Columbia Marionette Theatre needed a digital experience that captured the whimsical magic of puppetry while serving as an efficient operational hub. The challenge lay in structuring a multi-faceted platform that could seamlessly guide diverse visitors—parents looking to book birthday parties, educators organizing school field trips, and families checking showtimes for the traveling troupe—into intuitive conversion paths without diluting the fun, storybook charm of the theatre’s brand.
As the primary driver of recurring site traffic and ticket sales, the "Current Season" section was designed to give parents and educators immediate access to upcoming mainstage puppet shows, performance times, and online ticketing. By organizing seasonal show schedules into a clean, mobile-friendly interface, the design simplifies event planning for families while keeping performance dates front and center.
Private party rentals represent a major revenue stream for the theatre, making user-friendly booking essential. This section streamlines the birthday party inquiry process by clearly presenting party packages, private room amenities, and show-inclusive options—helping busy parents easily compare packages and reserve their celebration dates online.
Honoring a legacy established in 1988 by famed puppeteer Allie Scollon and her son John, the "About Us" section bridges the theatre’s rich history with its ongoing community mission. This page highlights the artistry, craftsmanship, and educational outreach behind South Carolina's premier children's puppet theatre, connecting new generations of visitors to the organization's enduring creative heritage.
