Allie Kent has spent 30 years at the Springer Opera House, longer than any current staff member, and at this point fully intends to haunt the building after she's gone. Over the course of her tenure, she has served as Box Office Manager, Operations Manager, and Director of the Springer Classic Movie Series, and was part of the project management team during the construction of the Springer Academy Annex and McClure Theatre. She currently serves on the Design Review and Community Outreach committees.
In her current role as Executive Director of Marketing, Allie is responsible for developing and implementing the theatre's marketing strategies, building awareness, and growing audiences across all events and programming. She serves as creative director and sole producer of all the theatre's visual content, including production photography, print design, commercial scripts, voiceover, and video editing.
A Columbus native, Allie feels a deep connection to both the Springer and the community it serves. She genuinely believes the theatre is one of the most special places in the country, and has profound respect for the colleagues who help keep this national historic landmark not just running, but thriving.
