Creating Excellence Thru PLAY
Actress * Writer * Producer I’m Tara Platt and I am here to create excellence thru play! I am an actor, writer and producer. You might find me on stage, behind a mic, in front of a camera, or leading creative teams while they bring a story to life. No matter what project I’m working on or in what capacity, I always strive to honor two values: playfulness and excellence. I’ve produced theatre in both New York and Los Angeles as well as formed a successful production company called Monkey Kingdom Productions in 2004. I have produced and acted-in two feature films with MKP, award-winning psychological thriller Tumbling After and mockumentary Con Artists. I also created, starred in and produced the highly successful web-comedy, Shelf Life, now in its third season. Most recently I was on Revenge and Castle, and will be appearing in the upcoming Halle Berry movie The Hive. Together with my husband, Yuri, I wrote the award winning book, Voice-Over Voice Actor which we published through our publishing company, Bug Bot Press. But my career isn’t just about the mile markers, the awards and the accolades. To me, it’s all about exploring your imagination. One of my favorite things about the world of acting and producing is that it is all about the imagination, pushing us to explore our own creativity and wonderment. Imagination thru the creative process is how I get to say YES to play. I can play all day on my own but I also love to play with others. What I bring to the game is unique. Everyone I come into contact with gets to experience excellence thru play. If I could wear costumes or disguises or foray into an alternate realities or time periods all the time when I work, I would be truly living my bliss! So, if you’re a playful storyteller who strives for the best in an imaginative way, I want to hear from you. Let’s play!
