She was also at the Steppenwolf Garage as part of the ensemble in Rivendell’s World Premiere, Jeff-nominated production of The Walls. Tara played Jolene Palmer (inspired by the true life story of Aileen Wuornos) in Rivendell’s Jeff-recommended production of Self Defense, or the Death of Some Salesmen – both productions part of Steppenwolf Theatre Company’s Visiting Theater Initiative.

Tara has directed the Jeff-nominated Midwest premieres of 26 Miles by Quiara Alegria Hudes in association with Rivendell and Teatro Vista; Fighting Words by Sunil Kuruvilla; Psalms of a Questionable Nature by Marisa Wegerzyn; the co-production of Elliot, a Soldier’s Fugue with Stageworks/Hudson in Hudson, NY; as well as the brief and brilliant Shady Meadows by Lisa Dillman as part of the 2007 Chicago Humanities Festival.
