Best Actor / Actress

Barbara Chisholm

Well, sure, she's got the high profile now – playing beloved journalist Molly Ivins in Zach's popular Red Hot Patriot – but Barbara Chisholm (wife of Chronicle Arts Editor Robert Faires) has been a much-admired acting force of nature on stages all over this town for years, whether solo or as part of a fine ensemble, even when not brightening the boards for her own Red Then Productions. This second Babs "BOA" proves it: Our readers adore her almost as much as we do.
