Nunsense - Gateway Playhouse
Gateway freshman Tamara Anderson is second in command as Sister Mary Hubert, Mistress of Novices, who delivers jokes brilliantly and takes us home with the penultimate number “Holier Than Thou.”

Nunsense - Portland Stage
​
Tamara Anderson makes an imposing Sister Mary Hubert, the mistress of novices, who has a biting sense of irony that serves to keep her explosive joie de vivre in check. She leads the sisters with soulful gusto in both act finales, "Tackle That Temptation with a Time-Step" and "Holier Than Thou."

Saturday Night Fever - Media Theatre
Back at the 2001 Odyssey club, Candy (high-energy Tamara Della Anderson) force-feeds redemptive disco gaiety to the struggling young with “Nights On Broadway” and “Disco Inferno.” Philadelphia Inquirer
​
Another entertaining production number "Disco Inferno" had the audience nodding in rhythm to the strong beat, led by the powerful and many-octave range of Candy Tamara Della Anderson. Anderson also nails the Act II opener, 'Nights on Broadway'

Raisin in The Sun - Bristol Riverside Theatre
Playing nosy neighbor Mrs. Johnson in addition to assistant directing, Anderson brought down the house with a couple lines.

Broad Street Review
​
Another consistent stalwart, Tamara Anderson, is funny as the coarse, disapproving neighbor who comes to visit the Youngers on the day before they move from an apartment to a house.
​
Tamara Anderson adds spark to the production with the African, jazz, and basic dances she choreographed.

Ghost the Musical - Media Theatre
​
Tamara Anderson has the unenviable task of playing the role for which the incomparable Whoopi Goldberg earned an Oscar for Ghost.
​
Anderson shows all the signs of the cunning con artist. She can reassure with the best of them. Anderson’s reaction is excellent when she does hear from a dead person...Anderson is consistently funny. Oda Mae’s sense of self-preservation, and her smell of a decent payday, is all Anderson needs to play her part with the finesse of a flim-flammer but with the comic timing and astute broadness of Lucille Ball or Flip Wilson. Anderson’s is a fine-etched complete performance that knows when to pull out all stops and when to keep the acting to a human, realistic level. And, yes, she gets a rousing, house-shaking number in “I’m Outta Here” near the end of the second act.

As the cranky Oda Mae, half-disgusted to discover that she actually possesses the psychic powers
she has been faking, Tamara Anderson steals the show in the same way Goldberg dominated the film, with her intoxicating charm, infectious humor, and fabulous voice, it is hard not to love Oda Mae.

Don’t’ Bother Me I Can’t Cope - New Freedom Theatre
The first voice to crack through the still mostly dark stage is that of guest actress Tamara Anderson, who is clothed in many decrepit layers, her head adorned with a paper crown as she wheels her cart to center stage and wails in gorgeous exertion “I gotta keep moving.” Her message sets the tone for the rest of the show, which focuses on the African-American experience as it pertains to gun violence, ghetto life, protests, gentrification, and feminism.

The voice of the plant, Audrey II, was played by Tamara Della Anderson. I was enraptured by her soulful timbre, sultry style, and a belt that will leave you applauding in your seat.
Encore Michigan
​
And speaking of powerful voices, Tamara Della Anderson (Audrey II) would give Aretha Franklin a run for her money. She had my full attention from the moment she uttered, ‘Feed me!’ (“Feed Me (Git It)”). Without the audience ever physically seeing her, Anderson made her presence known in an impactful way.
