Every little girl should be so lucky to have a role model like I did in Colleen Jones. As someone from my hometown, traveling the world as a journalist and athlete, she showed me what it looked like to take risks and never stop being yourself.

Colleen Jones was a Canadian icon and trailblazer for women in sports — a two-time world champion, six-time Canadian champion, and an esteemed reporter with CBC for nearly four decades.
My thoughts are with her family, her community in Nova Scotia, and her fans across Canada.
Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.
She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.
About always believing something wonderful is about to happen.

Yes. I have done this.

Wrapped up w Hira Kanagawa’s FORGIVENESS, about Japanese PoW Ralph MacLean and interned Japanese-Canadian Mitsue Sakamoto, and the courtship of their children. Loved how artfully Canadian history, geography and culture were combined to tell these Canadians’ stories. The final scene had me in tears.
Erin Shields’ RANSACKING TROY is a thrilling new Canadian play imagining the action taken by the women of Greece to bring the Trojan War to an end. As a teenager I was in an acting workshop led by Irene Poole and she was magnificent as Clytemnestra.Can’t wait to see student productions of this play.
Restorative weekend home in Canada to take in a few Stratford productions. Before ANNIE (the only production set in the U.S.) the orchestra played “O Canada” to push back against American threats. We all jumped up and I was overcome by the unexpected chance to sing with fellow Canadians.
They love poison, waste, destruction, and stupid, and coal is a great way to get them all in one package.
Not sure exactly what I’ll be doing with it yet! I will be writing about one of the Julian Marshes, Yang Joonmo, but Ohrupina is a fascinating director.
Thanks for posting this! I saw the production a few weeks ago and interviewed the director Ohrupina!
