Maria began her career (and her life) in the United States. But once she had a taste of life in Canada, both personal and professional, Toronto soon became her home base. And I met Maria when we worked together on a production of “Lend Me a Tenor”, at Theatre Aquarius – and that was probably about 30 years ago. Maria has worked in every medium and she has criss-crossed the performing landscape with an enviable agility.
Our conversation ranges from early influences in Chicago and at the Stratford Festival. Maria discusses the perennial artist’s challenge with finding a balance between work and family – and the added challenge of career when the family is grown and no longer the daily focus. So, a chatty segment of today’s conversation might be titled Life After Active Parenting.
