Tara is currently an external understudy for the roles of Mrs. Shimerda, Mrs. Harling, Clementine, Antonia Cusak, Lena, and Ensemble in the World Premiere musical My Antonia, Directed by Jessie Austrian.
In this Latté Da-commissioned world premiere, Willa Cather’s beloved novel is envisioned as an intimate celebration of resilience and the enduring strength of women. Featuring a sweeping indie folk score by The Kilbanes and an imaginative libretto by Noah Brody, this poignant adaptation traces the immigrant experience on the Great Plains at the turn of the 20th century through the eyes of the lifelong friendship between orphan boy Jim Burden and Ántonia Shimerda, daughter of a Bohemian immigrant family. MY ÁNTONIA offers a timely celebration of the contributions of immigrants to the nation’s identity and spirit as America marks its 250th anniversary.
Rooted in the land and shaped by memory, this powerful work invites us to consider how we remember our past, and whose stories we choose to tell.

Coming up, Tara is honored to take part in the staged reading of the Broadway bound new musical Alice in Neverland, Directed by Catie Davis.
Alice in Neverland takes place between the events of “Alice in Wonderland” and “Peter Pan.” It follows a grown-up Alice, who, bored and disillusioned with adulthood, escapes to Neverland to try to recapture her childlike vivacity. “This musical was brought to my attention by Broadway producer Hal Luftig, with whom we worked on Scotland, PA,” said Associate Artistic Director and Director of New Work Elissa Adams. “The workshop will be directed by Catie Davis, the associate director of Beetlejuice on Broadway.” It is scheduled for production next winter at the Alliance Theater in Atlanta, GA.
