Professionally, John and Pamela starred together in over twenty shows at The Peninsula Players Theatre in Door County, Wisconsin. Her marriage proposal took place onstage there, after the opening night performance of Children of a Lesser God. In Chicago, Walker worked and taught acting at Victory Gardens Theater, where she played Georgie in Theresa Rebeck's Spike Heels and the Chicago Tribune's review said, "she's a sharp, funny, delightful comic actress, and she anchors the production in warmth, grace, spontaneity and beauty." She was also in Murder in Green Meadows by Doug Post, and Claudia Allen's Hannah Free, which garnered her the Actress of the Year Award from the Academy of Theatre Artists and Friends.

Critical reviews of Walker's work include: Backstage: "Walker beautifully conveys O’Keeffe’s inner turmoil, self-centeredness and eroticism...volatile, sensuous, playful, withholding and insecure..."Pasadena Weekly: "Walker and Ortlieb bring the lovers to life. Alone, each performer is formidable. Together, the play leaps off the stage and into the stratosphere." Walker worked as an actor with Theatreworks in Donald Margulies' Brooklyn Boy, at the Magic Theatre in Theresa Rebeck's world premiere of What We're Up Against, and in two plays for the Aurora Theatre – Ibsen's John Gabriel Borkman and Amy Herzog's After the Revolution.
