As an award-winning actor, she played in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, as well as other regional theatres, appearing alongside such notables as Peter Fonda, Randy Quaid, John Mahoney and Rita Moreno. Pamela has also added playwriting, screenwriting and directing to her resume. She attended the University of Notre Dame and Broadway’s Circle in the Square Theatre Conservatory in New York City. 

As a producer, Pam co-founded Walker Productions in Chicago, producing several Joseph Jefferson Award nominated shows. Off-Broadway she co-produced Academy Award nominee John Logan’s critically acclaimed HAUPTMANN at the Cherry Lane Theatre. Pam founded Ghost Ranch Productions when she was producer of the sold-out run of ALFRED STIEGLITZ LOVES O’KEEFFE in Los Angeles, which was nominated for Best Production–Artistic Director Achievement Awards–Valley Theatre League. 

Pamela recently directed a new short play by playwright Jeffrey Sweet for AND theatre company in Manhattan. She also directed IMPROVISING THE FUTURE for the New York Film Academy.  (To watch the full short film, see link here.) In Los Angeles, Pam co-directed Theresa Rebeck’s GREAT TO SEE YOU, AMERICAN DOLLS for Theatre Neo, and Josh Schiowitz’s THE MESSAGE. She was the acting coach on the film EVEN STEPHEN, a delightful rom-com, which was chosen to be screened at over a dozen international film festivals. Pam also wrote and directed the film SHAKTI’S RETREAT, using a great deal of improvisation with her fellow actors, a tool that was a departure from previous work where she collaborated with story-board artists. Pamela worked for Pixar University, an in-house filmmaking program at Pixar Animation Studios. She directed three short plays there, one of which she adapted for the screen -the half-hour short film TRIFLES, by Susan Glaspell. She taught acting for 20 years, most recently at Pixar Animation Studios. TRIFLES was screened at the Reel Women Film Festival, Beverly Hills.
