Kelli Tager Acting Coach - The Playground Los Angeles

Kelli Tager is originally from the tiny town of
Saratoga, California – located in the Bay Area.
An avid fan of movie musicals from the time she
was born, she started participating in children’s
theater from the age of six. When she entered
high school, she began studying acting at
various local theaters, such as the San Jose
Repertory and American Musical Theater of San
Jose. Kelli chose to earn her Bachelors at UCLA

KELLI TAGER

as a Theater Arts major.
During her time there, she studied acting through both the theater and
film departments, working with many graduate film directors. She was also
heavily involved with the UCLA Shakespeare Group. As a junior, she
participated in the Education Abroad program and studied acting over in
England at the University of Birmingham.

Upon graduation, Kelli began to do many shows around Los Angeles,
starting with a Shakespeare in the Park production of Taming of the
Shrew, directed by Kate Geer. Kelli returned to England for her Masters
degree, this time studying at the Shakespeare Institute in
Stratford-Upon-Avon and, to her delight, living approximately ¼ mile from
where Shakespeare is buried.

Now that she is back in Los Angeles, she has returned to both film and
stage work. She can be seen starring in a number of independent films
such as Future Tense and Shabbat Shalom and has provided voices for
Japanese animé. She continues to be highly active in theater arts as she
is resident actor/writer of Open At the Top, based out of the NoHo Arts
Center. She considers herself to be bi-Calfornian as she still performs
frequently in the Bay Area as well as Los Angeles.
