We've recently completed the website for the Guthrie Theater. It's a Drupal 4.7 site as we started the project before 5 was released. We think it's a nice example of a 'pretty' Drupal site.
A Bit of Background
The Guthrie Theater is a Minneapolis destination, cultural icon and national center for the arts and arts education. As such, its website needed to serve many different audiences, including theatergoers young and old, subscribers, students, artists, the press and more.
What We Did
We designed and built a site that evokes the energy, excitement, and color of the Guthrie. We started with their new building as a visual inspiration and built it the site with the knowledge that it will be expanding greatly over time. We also spent a lot of time working on making it easy to find out when plays and classes are occurring and facilitating the purchase of tickets. We're continuing to work on the site and are making lots of other improvements as well.
Drupal Implementation
Here are some of the interesting bits of the project.
- The show and class calendars use calendar, date, date_api and a custom module to talk to their existing AS400 ticketing system.
