Introduction Tara has been teaching, performing, and otherwise thinking about improv for over 25 years -- which sometimes feels like a very long time ... and sometimes feels like no time at all. She is currently a founding member of long-form improv company Yes & Co (Portland ME) and producer of the women's comedy collective You Should Smile More (Northern New England) and was a 10-year cast member and former Artistic Director of Stranger Than Fiction (Portsmouth NH). She co-founded the Improvised Puppet Project (Portland ME) and the Un-Scripted Theater Company (San Francisco CA), and has trained with Keith Johnstone, David Razowsky, and teachers at BATS Improv, UCB, Magnet Theater, and ImprovBoston. She has performed at theaters and festivals from Ireland to California, and has taught improv to clowns, shy people, public defenders, and everyone in between.
