“There's something really democratic about outdoor theatre,” says Canadian Stage artistic director Brendan Healy. “Indoor theatre spaces are awesome, but they can sometimes be intimidating and limited.

“Early on, I decided, ‘Marjorie, don’t get miserable with food.’ Even if you’re feeling poor, if you need to eat, and you’re out, and you haven’t had time to prep or whatever, just eat.”
Mad Kitchen: Owais Lightwala’s Haleem
“I’m more interested in the serving of things than the making. My role isn’t to have the recipes, or to be the chef. My role is to take care of the chef.”
