Tara McDonough 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 the Education Chair of Seacoast New Hampshire's Stranger Than Fiction, co-founder of The Improvised Puppet Project in Portland Maine and San Francisco's Un-Scripted Theater Company, has trained with Keith Johnstone and teachers at BATS Improv, UCB, Magnet Theater, and ImprovBoston, and has performed on stages from San Francisco to Ireland. She has taught improv to clowns, shy people, public defenders, and everyone in between.
