About
Tamar is a storyteller living in Los Angeles with her husband, two young daughters, and their pit mix dog, Blanche. She grew up in Brooklyn and the suburbs of Chicago in a family of activist storytellers, so she's got a city edge with Midwestern grounded-ness mixed with a fair sense of right and wrong. She graduated from Northwestern University with a bachelor’s in Theater and a Pre-Med concentration (science is cool, all right?), and got her MFA in TV and Screenwriting from Stephen's College. Creatively, Tamar studied improv at UCB and ComedySportz, acting at Lesly Kahn and Playhouse West, and practiced voiceover with Nancy Wolfson, Billy Holmes, and David Lawrence for commercial training. For voiceover animation, she studied with Bob Bergen and Susan Palyo. For dialects, she studied with Eliza Jane Schneider.
Tamar often writes about historical injustices or triumphs with parallels to current events. She also focuses on themes of feminism, woman's search for identity, and what it means to be an American Jew.
In 2019, Tamar founded MOTHERS UNLEASHED, a storytelling workshop for moms writing on the subject of motherhood. Prior to that, she helped run a theater company that produced new, full length plays while simultaneously holding monthly playwriting workshops.
