At times compared to Sissy Spacek, Sally Field, and Carey Mulligan, Leah Daugherty is a young actor in the Sacramento area. Raised by two musicians in Santa Cruz County, Leah grew up singing and playing Celtic music in the Santa Cruz area. After school budget cuts and a desire to expand her performing skills led her to try theatre in high school, Leah has not taken more than a few months' break at a time from theatre in some capacity. A graduate of UC Davis with dual bachelor's degrees in English and Theatre, she went on to work as an acting apprentice for Capital Stage's 2016-2017 season. Since finishing the apprenticeship, Leah has performed at Big Idea Theatre, Davis Shakespeare Festival, and Capital Stage. She is now a company member at Big Idea Theatre and serves as part of their production management team. 

Some of Leah's favorite parts of acting include deep character exploration, collaboration between castmates, and playing with bold choices. She is often drawn to eccentric or misunderstood characters, but like not in a Tim Burton way.

In her person time, she likes watching too many period pieces, listening to a lot of Florence + the Machine, and spending time with her friends in small, manageable groups. Hope you enjoy the site and thanks for stopping by!
