Tara works in the entertainment business daily as a talent agent, who represents actors for commercials, voice over, television, and film. Her actors have had principal roles in nationally known projects including, "The Great Debaters," "W," "Kings of Appletown," "Prison Break," "Friday Night Lights," "Major Movie Star"... and countless others. Tara Coet Felmly comes regularly to UMHB to meet and greet talent. Through one of her workshops at UMHB she "discovered" UMHB's Will Johnson, who was then a Performance Studies student and now is an alumnus. As one of Tara's talent, Will has worked in the role of Thomas in "Friday Night Lights" and has played Scott in the soon to be released "Bandslam" that stars Vanessa Hudgens and Alyson Mychalka. He is currently employed by the Disney Corp. as a performer. Tara is also currently developing Marianna Lugo Cancel, another UMHB Performance Studies alumna, who is a bilingual talent. At the Dec. 8 workshop, Tara is to speak about how to break in to the entertainment business as an unknown actor. She also plans to reserve time for a question and answer period. This workshop is free and open to the public. For further information about the workshop or the Performance Studies Program at UMHB, contact Dr. Diane Howard. The Performance Studies Major provides training for students in film, television, radio, and platform presentations.
