Investing in the Future of Live Entertainment

Launched in 2021 the Thompson Creek Performing Arts Opportunity Fund (TC PAOF) is a strategic investment vehicle designed to capitalize on the unique, high-growth potential of the niche performing arts ecosystem. Our mandate extends beyond traditional stage productions to include the essential businesses and technological innovations that support the modern entertainment landscape. We target uncorrelated, venture-like returns through a private equity approach within a tax-efficient evergreen structure.

• Strategic Partnerships: We collaborate with top-tier operators and industry innovators to identify high-potential assets.
• Diversified Exposure: We mitigate risk by investing across diverse asset types, lifecycle stages (from development to global touring), and geographic regions.
• IP-Driven Innovation: We prioritize investments that leverage globally recognized Intellectual Property (IP) to create immersive, location-based experiences.

• Traditional Stage: Theater and musicals (e.g. Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Hadestown, Pretty Woman)
• Digital & Hybrid: Live Capture (filmed productions) and Drone Shows.
• Immersive Experiences: Location-based entertainment (LBE) featuring major IP like Hasbro and DreamWorks (e.g., Monopoly Lifesized, The Paddington Bear Experience, Dungeons & Dragons: Twenty Sided Tavern).

Our portfolio has a significant footprint in global entertainment, featuring:

• Scale and Reach: Exposure to over 222 productions and 155 unique titles through 31 distinct investments.
• Critical Acclaim: The underlying portfolio is anchored by excellence, boasting a combined 59 Tony Awards, 48 Drama Desk Awards, and 19 Olivier Awards.
• Global Landmarks: Through direct collaborations with major IP holders like Hasbro and DreamWorks, our partners have launched marquee immersive attractions such as Monopoly Lifesized and Clue Lifesized in major markets including London, Riyadh, and New York City’s Times Square.
  
• Commercial Hits: Investors gain exposure to prestigious titles such as Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Hadestown, Maybe Happy Ending, and Back To The Future!
