Scene 7 - Jo Thomas

We're still exploring the business of showbiz and this week we learnt exactly what it takes to curate, collate and program a season of arts and entertainment! Stepping into the studio for some fun is the effervescent CEO and Creative Director of Metro Arts, Jo Thomas. We talked about her wonderful career as a producer, actor and businesswoman, as well as the upcoming January-June season at Metro Arts. Jo is paving the way for emerging artists to learn and gain experience in the industry, and we learnt so much when she visited. This was one of our bucket-list interviews! Scene 7 unravels the responsibilities of a producer and creative director and what it takes to run a successful theatre company. Jo talks about what goes into crafting a season, Metro Arts' new home in West End and their upcoming January-June 2021 season. We also chat about the Metro Arts Future Fund, opportunities and advice for emerging artists, and Jo's start in the industry (from acting to producing than being a CEO!).
