Fredi Walker Browne originated the role of JoAnne Jefferson in the Pulitzer Prize winning musical RENT!, a show which somehow got me to sleep out on the streets of New York. Overnight. Several times. I have been hearing Fredi's voice for the last 25 years, and it was beyond an honor and a pleasure to get to actually talk back.  Fredi is a no-nonsense, powerful "suburban housewife" who has carved out a lifelong career in the arts as a performer, teacher, writer, producer, director, and everything between. Please check out everything she is up to, including news on her upcoming album of protest music, at Big Spoon Productions, as well as on her Instagram.
