Pamela Roza has been a member of the Lakewood community since early 2018, having moved from South Florida to the Pacific Northwest in the summer of 2017. In Miami, Pamela taught at the prestigious New World School of the Arts, featured in the New York Times and whose alumni include Tarrell Alvin McCraney (Oscar for Moonlight), Alex Lacamoire (Tony Award - Hamilton), and David Del Rio (Grease:Live on FOX).

Pamela, who made her debut at Lakewood Playhouse last September as Kate in Brighton Beach Memoirs, has been a professional theatre artist for going on three decades, starting back in 1991 with her first professional role as Martha in Careless Love at Area Stage Company in Miami Beach. It was the Area Stage where she appeared with Oscar Isaac (Poe in Star Wars: The Last Jedi) in the world premiere of Sleepwalkers by Jorge Ignacio Cortinas.

Pamela originated a second role in the world premiere of The Sunken Living Room, by David Caudle, where she played John Magaro’s (Orange is the New Black; The Good Wife) negligent mother, Lynette. John and David’s subsequent Q&A via teleconference with Pamela’s Scene Study class at New World was featured in Samuel French’s Breaking Character Magazine. Pamela was also a frequent featured artist at GableStage in the world famous Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, winning a Miami New Times Best Actress Award for her performance in Boy Gets Girl and a Carbonell Award for Killer Joe.

Pamela teaches the Linklater Vocal Method and focuses on a combination of Uta Hagen and Sanford Meisner in her approach to acting instruction. She is also trained in Alexander Technique and the Fitzmaurice Vocal Method, although she prefers to use the Linklater when teaching voice for the stage.
