Born and raised in Virginia, Tate's acting career began at B Street Theatre where she was so lucky to share the stage with its fantastically talented company members in shows like The Ladies Foursome, The Underpants, Boston Marriage, Sylvia, and the first CTC show, Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse. She later transitioned to on-camera work with guest roles on shows such as The Office, Superstore, Shameless, The Mentalist, NCIS, Community, and the film Burt Wonderstone with Steve Carell. She's appeared in more than 75 commercials and is an alum of UCB. She's written, produced, and directed multiple webseries and shorts and recently sold her first feature screenplay.

For Elisabeth Nunziato, touring, directing and acting with the Family Series has been one of the most formidable experiences in her career. We learn and celebrate the building blocks of great storytelling in every Family Series production. This season, Ms. Nunziato went from the award-winning “Blood of the Lamb” and “What The Constitution Means To Me” to “Marie Curie and the Sisterhood of Science”; all equally beautiful and exciting productions. A founding Company Member, Elisabeth is thrilled to be working with this incredibly talented and funny group of theater artists. Ms. Nunziato makes her home in Sacramento with her husband and fellow B Street family member, Jason Kuykendall. She is a passionate acting coach and with the Actor’s Workshop continues Ed Claudio’s legacy of commitment to actor training and great theater.
