Pamela Isaacs is an American singer and actress. ==Theatre== In 1987 Isaacs appeared in ''Conrack'', a musical based on Pat Conroy's novel ''The River Is Wide,'' at AMAS Repertory Theater.〔 The show is set in 1969 and recounts the adventures of Pat Conroy, a young white teacher who teaches black children on the remote South Carolina island of Yamacraw.〔 Isaacs played Dr. Jackie Brooks, a black representative of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare who becomes romantically involved with Conroy.〔 Stephen Holden in his review of the show for the New York Times said that Isaacs "brings a fine psychological precison () to the role of Dr. Jackie Brooks."〔( New York Times. " The Stage: 'Conrack,' a Musical" by Stephen Holden. November 5, 1987. )〕 In 1988 Isaacs replaced LaTonya Sue Welch, as Effie in Michael Bennett's production of ''Dreamgirls'' at An Evening Dinner Theater in Elmsford, New York. Alvin Klein of the New York Times said that "Isaacs is so fine as that replacement that one feels a strange sense of confused priorities."〔(New York Times. "A Small 'Dreamgirls' On Stage in Elmsford" by Alvin Klein. September 18, 1988. )〕 In 1989 Isaacs played the title role of Kay Jones, a music-hall performer who wears several disguises, in the Goodspeed Opera House revival of the Gershwins' ''Oh, Kay!''.〔 The setting in the revival was moved from Long Island to Harlem and the production was given an all-black cast.〔 Stephen Holden said in his review in the New York Times that "Pamela Isaacs has only to raise an eyebrow to strike sparks. Her brassy comic charisma recalls Patti LuPone as Reno Sweeney in the Lincoln Center Theater production of ''Anything Goes.''"〔( New York Times. "A Gershwin-Wodehouse Spoof of Prohibition" by Stephen Holden. November 1, 1989. )〕 In 1993 Isaacs performed a one-woman show at Center Stage in Baltimore, appearing as Billie Holiday in "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill.〔Baltimore Sun. "Behind the scenes with Center Stage's production photographer" by J. Wynn Rousuck. December 4, 1994.〕 J. Wynn Rousuck called Isaacs a "spellbinding performer" in the production and added "It's not that she attempts to impersonate (Holiday ). That would probably be futile. Instead, Isaacs acts like Billie Holiday and sings like, well, Isaacs, who is a thrill to hear."〔Baltimore Sun. "Lady Day': Table-hopping at the cabaret" by J. Wynn Rousuck April 2, 1993.〕 "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill" was such a hit that Isaac's run was extended.〔Baltimore Sun. "Center Stage extends run of `Lady Day'" by Linell Smith. May 9, 1993.〕 In 1995 Isaacs returned to Baltimore's Center Stage to play the leading role in a production of Kurt Weill's Happy End as Salvation Army worker Lilian Holiday. While in Baltimore for the Center Stage productions, Isaacs appeared in one episode of "Homicide: Life on the Street."〔(The Internet Movie Database.
