$y=tantheta$ has a period of $pii$ and vertical asymptotes are at $theta=((2n+1)pi)/2$

As $tan(pi+theta)=tantheta$ , $y=tantheta$ has a period of $pi$ .

Further as $theta->((2n+1)pi)/2$ , from left or right i.e.

$lim_(theta->(((2n+1)pi)/2)^+)tantheta=oo$ and

$lim_(theta->(((2n+1)pi)/2)^-)tantheta=-oo$

Hence vertical asymptotes are at $theta=((2n+1)pi)/2$
