Tamara Lee Carroll is a Los Angeles-based playwright and photographer whose writing is defined by the same cinematic scope and emotional clarity that marks her visual work. Her plays are a raw, psychological excavation of generational trauma, exploring the high cost of inherited silence against the uncompromising demand for radical honesty.

As an established photographer whose client work has spanned the globe, Tamara spent years training her eye to capture the unspoken story in a single frame. This professional foundation in visual storytelling and collaborative performance is the bedrock of her stage work. Her unique methodology is rooted in creating a space of radical trust for individuals to show up fully…a practice she now translates directly to the collaborative process of the rehearsal room.

Her ultimate aim, whether through the lens or on the page, is not to capture perfection, but to illuminate the visceral, complex reality of the human experience. Her new play, AFTER US (a volatile, bourbon-fueled reckoning set in a film-set trailer ), is currently in development.
