Core Staff
RONI MEVORACH (she/her)
Projects and Performances Manager
Roni first joined Stage2 almost 16 years ago, and she’s never really left…! While she was a member, she was involved in a huge range of shows, and was also a LAMDA Tutor and Stage1 leader. Many of you now will know her as a chaperone, but she’s also been busy completing her English and French degree at UCL, tutoring young people, and directing shows in London, including at The Bloomsbury Theatre! She is very excited to be back as Performances and Projects Manager; she’s really looking forward to working with all of the Stage2 members. Stage2 means a lot to her because of the fact it is such an inclusive, supportive space, and she can’t wait to continue to nurture that and be part of that.
