Deborah Tarica

Deborah Tarica was born and raised in Los Angeles, and took a brief hiatus from her small-town Hollywood life to earn a degree in film studies from UC Santa Barbara. She made her first stage appearance in the 3rd Grade, starring in the acclaimed role of "Uncle Raccoon," in some sort of creation story or another. She hid from the spotlight for many years until she discovered improv at UCB in 2007, and has since performed in the UCB Cagematch, 3-on-3 Tournament, and at the Del Close Marathon (she'd list more, but name dropping isn't really her style). She is delighted to be a part of the UCB harold team, The Great War, and is a proud member of Fancy Schmancy. She has written several screenplays, cast many reality shows and also loves dogs. A lot.
