An iconic Chicago institution

Actors. Directors. Designers. Some of the biggest names in Chicago and national theater have been through the Goodman.

Orbit has been a proud digital partner of the Goodman for years, helping build and curate a website that balances rich storytelling with practical functionality, helping patrons browse shows, manage memberships and buy tickets with ease.

Recently, their team returned to us to align their site with a major milestone– their 100-year anniversary rebrand.
