Tara Bruno is an international stage and screen actor from Philly, PA. Her love for traveling took her to study abroad in the UK graduating with her Masters in Acting from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland aka the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. While at RCS, she completed a residency and performed at Shakespeare's Globe in London.
While in the UK, she worked on classical plays like DOCTOR FAUSTUS (Mephistopheles) as well as devised an original contemporary play called CYCLE-LOGICAL, directed by Rebecca Haley Clark. She also wrote and debuted her one woman show, THE AFFAIR, at The Tron, in Glasgow. She went on to perform the show again to benefit the national charity, Faces and Voices of Recovery UK. In September of 2019, she performed another rendition of her one woman show, GOD SIZED HOLE, in London.
She has worked regularly in U.S. Regional Theaters, International and National tours, and in New York, originating roles such as Chevette in Joshua Conkel's smash hit HOUSE OF VON MACRAME at the Obie Award Winning Bushwick Starr in Brooklyn, directed by Nick Leavens. Later she was given the opportunity to work again with Leavens as a part of UNICORNLAND, an eight episode series, written by Lucy Gillespie. In 2017, UNICORNLAND, won for Best Director and Audience award in the Around International Film Festival, and was an official selection at the New Orleans Film Festival, Raindance Film Festival, Toronto Web Festival, and the NY Indie Theatre Film Festival.
In addition to acting, 2020-2021 has deepened her love for connection and writing. Tara has also been working for an incredible company that is committed to working on gene therapies for rare diseases as well as training to become a certified addiction recovery coach. Tara loves storytelling and is most passionate about lifting up the voices of those that are often ignored or stigmatized.
