Daiva Paulis
On November 15, 2020 Big Noise Theatre lost one of our own, Daiva Paulis, who served the organization in a number of capacities, including Vice President of the Board.
Daiva was involved in countless productions with our company, ranging in roles from Stage Manager, Producer, Stage Crew, and more in some of our most beloved shows, such as BIG FISH, CABARET, RAGTIME, HAIR, DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, RENT, and SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE. Her passionate spirit and hard work was unparalleled; every production that Daiva touched was in turn made better for it. She was truly a presence within Big Noise Theatre, and one that we as a community will be mourning for a long time.
