Tamara was Mark's mom in the original Canadian cast of Rent, which began at the end of December, 1997. On June 5, 1998, we learned that Tamara was offered and accpeted the chance to continue her role on Broadway. She left Toronto on July 7 and reprised the role on July 10. December 6, 1998, was her last show as Mark's mom...she was given the chance to play Maureen on Broadway, and did until October 3, 1999. This is a collection of pictures of Tamara with various people in Toronto and New York, all having something to do with Rent.
