(eap) Dallas, Texas-based full-service production company WOW! Entertainment, which specialises in live music and theatrical productions for theme parks and theatres, among others, has announced the appointment of Dewey Joe Beene Jr. as Vice President of Development & Production. With more than three decades of experience in the live entertainment and theme park industry, Beene will play a central role in shaping WOW!’s future creative projects and driving the company’s expansion.
“With his expertise in both theme parks and live event productions, Dewey is an excellent addition to the WOW! team,” comments WOW! Entertainment founder Mark Brymer. “As we expand our focus to include more production services work, Dewey’s leadership and deep understanding of large-scale event logistics will enhance our ability to offer an even higher level of service to all our existing and future clients.” Beene’s entry into the world of entertainment began at the age of 15 when he took his first job as a magician’s assistant at Frontier City Theme Park in his hometown of Oklahoma City. This early experience launched a career in which he quickly rose through the ranks, working for Sooner Productions, Six Flags, The World of Magic and most recently HeyDay Entertainment, among others. A highlight of his career is also the creation of the outdoor haunted attraction Scream Acres Haunted Hike in central US.
“I’ve always been drawn to the magic of creating live experiences that connect with people, whether it’s through a theatrical production, a theme park show, or an immersive attraction,” says Beene. “Starting in the entertainment industry at such a young age taught me to adapt quickly and seize opportunities whenever they arose. My career has been built on identifying a need, delivering more than expected, and constantly evolving.” Reflecting on joining WOW! Entertainment, Beene adds, “This opportunity felt like a full-circle moment for me. I’ve been fortunate to work on some incredible productions over the years, but joining WOW! is the perfect chance to leverage everything I’ve learned and contribute to a company that’s dedicated to creating experiences that leave a lasting impact. I’m excited to help bring new ideas to life and take WOW! to the next level.” ■
