Entertainment One (eOne) has acquired New York-based live entertainment production company Round Room Entertainment.

Round Room will support the development of IP for live shows and concert touring and work with eOne’s artist management team to extend artists’ audience reach and fan loyalty.

The company, which focuses on live entertainment for family content and special events, is headed up by co-presidents Stephen Shaw and Jonathan Linden. They will report to eOne global president, music, Chris Taylor.
