King’s Head Theatre CEO stepping down after four years leading organisation through major period of change

King’s Head Theatre, Islington, announce that Sofi Berenger is stepping down from her role as Executive Producer and CEO. Sofi led the theatre through restabilising after Covid, the opening of its new venue, and programme since the new venue opened in January 2024. Her programme will finish in August 2026.

Since joining the organisation in 2021, she also established the Angels of Angel Producing Fund, which enabled the new theatre to return to producing new work in its first year – including establishing an annual pantomime, now in its third year, which has consistently broken box office records. 

Sofi Berenger said: “It’s been a true privilege to lead King’s Head Theatre through an extraordinary period in its history. Delivering a new home for this remarkable organisation, and seeing it flourish over the past two years, has been a hugely rewarding journey.

Our brilliant team has achieved so much and I am deeply grateful to the artists, staff and community whose creativity, dedication and resilience have shaped both this theatre and my experience of it.

In what is an undeniably challenging environment for theatres, I could not be more proud of leaving the King’s Head financially stable and creatively thriving--it feels like the right time for me to return to the heart of theatre-making. I look forward with great excitement to the next chapter for both King’s Head Theatre and myself.”

Robert Khan, Chair of the Board of Trustees said: “We appreciate the important leadership of Sofi setting up this exciting new chapter of King’s Head Theatre and we wish her every success for the future.”
