Mary Colin Chisholm

Broadcast Date – March 21, 2018

Well lucky for me today’s show was recorded in the Halifax home of award-winning actress, playwright and director Mary-Colin Chisholm – the sun was shining, the tea was flowing and the conversation was a great one. Now close to a hundred roles on the stage and screen, we would have needed a week to get it all said so we’ve narrowed it down to her recent TV roles in shows like HAVEN and FORGIVE ME – big screen work in CAST NO SHADOW and the forthcoming SPLINTERS and her new play HALF-CRACKED: THE LEGEND OF SUGAR MARY which is on stage now at Neptune Theatre, and we’ll squeeze in as many other productions as we can – plus learn about her hometown of Antigonish, get the scoop on some of her famous friends and co-stars, discover her process for choosing a role and we’ll even play a long overdue round of INsights IN 10. Indeed there’s plenty of ground to cover so let’s get to it! Here’s my conversation with Nova Scotia’s own Mary Colin Chisholm!

Mary-Colin’s favourite tune “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash written by written by June Carter Cash and Merle Kilgore.
I couldn’t think of the movie title at the time but that major motion picture about Johnny Cash starring Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Pheonix but I did on the way home and of course it’s WALK THE LINE
