Creating and producing one show is a big endeavour. In this week’s episode Sophia Marie Hornsey CEO of Sophisticated Entertainment talks us through how her company creates, delivers and produces multiple shows across eight venues with eight casts for her client Park Holidays, a major UK leisure brand.
This is a return to the podcast for Sophia Marie who was also one of my early consultancy clients. She is a wonderful example of someone who identifies what she wants to do with her business and what skills she needs to achieve her ambitions. Every time we speak it feels as if her company has developed and grown further.
In a few short years Sophia Marie has taken Sophisticated Entertainment from a start up delivering birthday entertainment over Zoom to now creating and delivering entertainment for national brands, operating an artist agency and producing theatre shows. The word is that the company is also about to announce a major international partnership too. Sophisticated Entertainment is definitely one to watch!
In this episode Sophia Marie talks about;
The importance of a clear rehearsal process.
How to look after your cast.
Adapting creative ideas for multiple casts and casts with multiple abilities
Producing an adult comedy show while maintaining your family friendly brand.
How to set creative and taste boundaries when producing adult comedy
The importance of looking after yourself as a creative and company director.
If you want to grow your creative entertainment company or just want to know how creating and producing at scale works then you will find plenty in this episode to learn from.
