Earlier this year, she appeared as Luciana in Sport for Jove’s summer season of The Comedy of Errors (dirs.

She also leads the short film Life Support (dir. Ben Mair, Bus Stop Films). Her additional credits include NCIS: Sydney (Paramount+) and Mikki Vs The World ABC).

In 2025, she made her Ensemble Theatre debut as Midge in David Williamson’s world-premiere play ARIA (dir. Janine Watson), where critics praised her charisma, comedic timing, and stage presence. In 2024, she made her Bell Shakespeare debut as Regan in King Lear (dir. Peter Evans), with Time Out Sydney describing her as “a femme fatale,” and Stage Whispers noting her “seductive charm,” naming her a standout of the production.

Her breakout stage role was in the international production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Princess Theatre, Melbourne), where she performed multiple roles including Delphi Diggory, Moaning Myrtle, and Rose Granger-Weasley.

A graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA), Tamara is drawn to bold, transformative roles, with a particular interest in complex women, action-driven storytelling, and work that bridges physicality with psychological depth.

 Ameer Di Meglio is a Sydney based, second generation Australian actor of Italian and Indian Heritage. He is a Queensland University of Technology alum, having trained as part of the acclaimed Bachelor of Fine Arts Acting Company, graduating with Distinction in 2022.

Ameer’s credits include as Louis Ironside in ‘Angels in America Part One’ (Dir. Bridget Boyle), Tom and Ash in ‘Tight in the Bud’ (Dir Wesley Enoch AM), and as Donny in web-series ‘Greenlit’, produced by Exit Ghost Productions (Dir. Mack Struthers).

On top of traditional stage and screen credits, Ameer has also previously collaborated with photographer, videographer and director Tony Davison on their multiformat work, “Brace”. This is an artistic series of photo and video, taking a deep dive into the inner workings of sport and the performing arts, namely with regards to pressure and how one deals with it. This piece originated from Ameer and Tony’s background within elite level Junior and Senior cricket, with Ameer’s experience as a player being key in the creative energy brought to each of the movements.

 This background in sport is very much a cornerstone within Ameer’s practice, and in collaboration with his experience within the performing arts, has been critical in shaping Ameer’s personal and professional identity.
