HKNY ENTERTAINMENT · NEW YORK CITY

WE CREATE THE SHOW. WE FIND THE BACKING. WE BRING IT TO YOUR VENUE.

Original live entertainment. Commercial sponsorships. Productions built for real rooms.

HKNY Entertainment develops and produces live experiences that bring artists, audiences, businesses and venues together. From theatrical variety competitions and drag revues to hosted social evenings and themed brunches, we turn strong entertainment concepts into productions that people can actually attend.

Our commercial model is straightforward: sponsors back the production, participating venues run their hospitality businesses and keep their bar sales, and HKNY coordinates the entertainment. Clients can also book a production directly for their own events.

WHAT HKNY ACTUALLY DOES

DEVELOP

We shape original entertainment formats, creative concepts and repeatable productions with identities that can travel between venues and return for future editions.

FINANCE

We structure commercial sponsorships and production budgets so the artists, crew and promised audience experience have a defined financial basis.

PRODUCE

We coordinate casting, performers, stage and technical needs, creative direction, show schedules, venues and contracted production deliverables.

DELIVER

We bring the entertainment to the room and fulfill the agreements made with venues, buyers, performers and sponsors.

THE VENUE KEEPS THE BAR

Our standard sponsored hosting approach keeps hospitality and entertainment responsibilities distinct. The venue manages the premises, staff, food and beverage service, pricing and ordinary operations. HKNY produces the agreed show and manages its production funding and personnel. There is no standard venue entertainment fee or automatic percentage of bar sales.

Event-specific staffing, sound, insurance, technical arrangements, ticketing and extraordinary costs are identified in writing before a production is confirmed. Neither party silently inherits the other's revenue shortfall.

THE PEOPLE MAKE THE NIGHT

The cast changes with the production and engagement. Artists retain their individual professional identities; HKNY coordinates the talent and creative team required for the booked show. A larger social and artistic community can discover opportunities through our production websites and OpenCall.NYC.

We believe a memorable production should work for everyone involved: properly defined artist terms, a credible budget, clear sponsor benefits, a suitable venue and an audience experience worth returning for.

LET'S PUT SOMETHING ON STAGE.

You can present the show, host the show or book the show. Choose the path that fits your business or event and HKNY will help define the next step.
