Atiera "Tarrah" Currie

Encore! Theater Group is guided by Artistic Director, Atiera “Tarrah” Currie. Atiera’s vision for our newest programs and developments stems from her understanding of the power of theater to create change in the lives of those who live it. She strives to demonstrate the importance of diversity, inclusion and quality in what we produce as a company and offer artistically to our community. 

Originally from Oklahoma, Atiera is a proud citizen and tribal member of the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma. She holds a B.A. in Communication Studies with a concentration in speech teacher certification from East Central University where she also earned inclusion in Oklahoma-Eta Chapter of Pi-Kappa Delta. 

Regionally and nationally she has worked freelance as an instructor, actress, director and set design artist for a variety of community theater companies including MPower Plays and A Call to Conscience Interactive Theater for Social Change. In 2019 Atiera was pleased to join Encore! Theater Group as Ruth in Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun and is overly excited to join the management team in 2023 as Artistic Director.
