Raisa (Roo) Daya
Raisa graduated from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in 2019.
Their experience since has covered a variety of stage management roles across a variety of shows. Their passions lie mostly in musical theatre, although they are also very keen to be part of any work that makes theatre more accessible, and represents people who have been looked over too often in theatre.
Outside of work, Raisa is a big fan of comedy, art galleries, Disney, their cat, and is often found wearing bright colours and probably talking about Ariana Grande.
I am a freelance assistant stage manager with experience at venues like the Old Vic, the Donmar and Young Vic. I am currently ASM on “Once on This Island” at Regent’s Park Open Air.
