Ms. Meneghini most recently appeared in Chicago at Davenport's Piano Bar and Cabaret in "Let the Sunshine In, Songs from the Musicals of Galt MacDermot." This February, as part of the annual V-Day National Stop the Violence Campaign against women, Tammy appeared in Nebraska's cast of "Vagina Monologues." Last summer she was part of the world premiere stage production of "The Guys" (a September 11th commemorative play originated at the Flea Theatre in NYC) with the Open Theatre in Tucson, AZ.

Her work in Chicago has included "The Prophet of Bishop Hill" (Chicago Dramatist, Jeff nomination), "Company" (Pegasus, Jeff citation), "Sweeney Todd" (Porchlight, After Dark award), and "Life in the Trees" (SummerNITE, Jeff citation), to name a few.

In New York, she was part of the original cast that developed "Quake," a play recently presented at the 2002 Humana Festival. As an ensemble member of the Hypothetical Theatre Company, she worked frequently on the main stage and as the company movement coach, most notably in the highly acclaimed "Ellis Island Stories."

Tammy also keeps busy directing and teaching throughout the west. Directing projects have included her own adaptation of "Trojan Women," developed in conjunction with the Department of Afghan Studies at the University of Nebraska - Omaha. She currently teaches at Creighton University and continues to conduct acting and cabaret workshops in and out of her new home town Lincoln. She has served on the faculty of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, the Actor's Movement Studio, Rutgers University, and the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
