Jonesboro Occasions: The City Magazine Since 2003

When Mary Hollis Inboden takes the stage for her comedic one-woman show, “Bad Dates,” in January, it will be a full-circle moment as she returns with new perspective to the community where her love for acting began.
A talented actor and writer, Inboden began working in television in 2011 appearing as Mary in “The Chicago Code.” She is best known for her roles as a series regular as Jodi O’Neal in “The Real O’Neals,” Patty O’Connor in “Kevin Can F**k Himself” and Mandy in the “The Righteous Gemstones.” While she continues to work and audition for new roles in other cities, Jonesboro is now once again her home base. In addition to collaborating locally with The Link Theatre Company and The Foundation of Arts, she has also found new purpose in coming back to her roots — teaching and inspiring talented young students who desire to work in theater or on screen.
