Actress, Improviser, Dancer and Singer
Pamela Hawley is one of the best improvisers I\’ve ever seen. She focuses 90% of her acting skills on only improv and is absolutely Brilliant. She engages with energy, spirit, and a level of daring and bravery one rarely sees. She combines intellect, integrity and emotion, and she\’s one of our strongest character actresses, able to play someone 30 years younger or 60 years older. High energy or the subtlest touch. I\’ve seen her in sketches on the Groundlings stage and in a fully improvised long-form musical. A must see, for any director wanting to work with an improv actress who listens and responds perfectly in the moment with her partner.
