Oops, I Did It Again! Yet Another P.D.Q. Bach Concert Featuring Prof. Peter Schickele, Leader, Speaker, Bassooner Assisted by KEN ("THE BACHELOR") JEAN, Conductor ALLAN DEAN, Soprano Krummhorn TOM ZAJAC, Serpent NATALLA PARUZ, Musical Saw JOSHUA PEARL, Koto WILLIAM WALTERS, Manager of the Stage SAMANTHA BROWNE-WALTERS, Enabler |
Samantha Browne-Walters has been Professor Schickele's personal assistant and librarian for seven years (he is unable or unwilling to place his own score on the conductor's music stand and has to get a kid to do it for him. No one else will). She made her first appearance on stage at age four as the doomed daughter of Macduff in an Off-Broadway production of Shakespeare's "Scottish" play. She appeared in Hamlet with the Manhattan Playhouse, and on Broadway with Richard Chamberlain in The Sound of Music. Along the way she has appeared in Third Watch, Sex and the City (too young to watch, but not too young to collect a paycheck), All My Children, and several independent films; one of which, Pate, was an official selection of the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. She is currently starring as Bonnie Hunt's daughter (or more accurately, Bonnie Hunt is starring as her mother) in Life with Bonnie, seen on Tuesday nights on ABC (9:00 Eastern, 8:00 Central) opposite Frasier (we never watched Frasier anyway ... and you are not to watch Frasier either). Ms. Browne-Walters spends half the year in Los Angeles, and comes back during the holidays just to carry the Professor's music. She attends (by e-mail) the Professional Performing Arts School in Manhattan.
