Originally from Bucks County, PA, Pam has been part of Chicago’s theater community for more than twenty-five years. Her plays include the full-length drama "Life Defying Acts" (finalist: 2019 Inkslinger Playwriting Competition; winner: 2017 UMass New PlayLab), the comedy "Fugue in a Cold State" and the children’s musical, "The Little Turtle," a parable on homelessness. Her one-act "Promising" was selected for the 2009 East Village Festival at New York’s Metropolitan Playhouse, and her comedies "Philbert Eats a Nut" and "Someone Has to Die Tonight, Indeed He Does" were two of the four finalists presented at Stage Left Theatre’s 2009 DrekFest at ComedySportz. Pam was also a contributing writer/assistant director for "The Arab-Israeli Comedy Hour" at Chicago’s iO. As a producer/director, she worked with Tony-nominee Herb Schapiro, helping to shape his world-premiere of "The Love Song of Saul Alinsky," which included panel discussions with such luminaries as (then) Senator Barack Obama, Monsignor Jack Egan, and Studs Terkel (Pam’s refusal to “release the tape” of the play was the focus of Andrew Breitbart’s final blog entry on Breitbart.com before his fatal heart attack, earning her the moniker of “treasonous Obamabot” on right wing blogs and several mentions by Sean Hannity -- even though it was simply an archival tape of the show). As founding managing director of Terrapin Theatre, she produced ten seasons of award-winning world-premieres, and directed such plays as "Laurel & Hardy Sleep Together," "The Inspector General," and "From Thought to Finish." Pam received her BFA in theater from Syracuse University, where she later served on the College of Visual and Performing Arts’ inaugural Advisory Board. She is a proud member of The Dramatists Guild.
