- Heather Agyepong signed with Industry Entertainment for management following her breakout run in the West End two-hander 'Shifters,' opposite Tosin Cole.
- The play, which originated at the Bush Theatre, earned Agyepong a Best Actress nomination at the Olivier Awards and a Best West End Debut nomination at The Stage Debut Awards in 2025.
- Idris Elba came on board as co-producer when 'Shifters' transferred to the West End, and the production later moved to A24's Cherry Lane Theatre in Greenwich Village for a New York run Agyepong reprised.
- Luna Carmoon, director of 'Hoard,' cast Agyepong in 'To Make Ends Meat' alongside Naomi Ackie; the film recently wrapped production.
- Agyepong's other credits include 'Joy' opposite Thomasin McKenzie and James Norton, Craig Gillespie's 'Supergirl,' and Amazon's 'The Power' opposite Toheeb Jimoh.
- Beyond acting, Agyepong is an award-winning visual artist whose photography is currently on view at the National Portrait Gallery as part of the Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize.
Why it matters: Industry Entertainment lands a dual-threat client: an Olivier-nominated actress fresh off a New York transfer at A24's Cherry Lane Theatre and a wrapped film with Naomi Ackie, whose visual art is currently exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery — a credentials stack most new signings can't match.
