An evening with producer Ameena Hamid
The MCR Social Secretaries organised an evening with Ameena Hamid earlier this week.
Ameena is a London-based creative producer, general manager, festival curator and facilitator. She runs Ameena Hamid Productions and co-founded HD General Management with Grace Dickson.
She was named Best Producer at the Black British Theatre Awards 2022 for her work as a producer on The Wiz with Hope Mill Theatre Manchester. Ameena was heralded as ‘a true role model to the future generations’ by Official London Theatre, was one of The Stage 25 2022, and one of The Stage 100 in 2023. At just 22, Ameena is the youngest producer and general manager currently working and, having cut her teeth on death drop (Garrick Theatre) as an associate producer in 2020, the youngest ever female producer on the West End.
Attendees had a drinks reception before Ameena spoke about her journey in the theatre industry, arts entrepreneurship, and the challenges in the sector.
