"We’re so grateful for our residency at Theatre Deli and for them taking a chance on us. It was Big Sister Theatre’s and our debut play’s first real opportunity after many years of knocking at various doors. From the start, the team was so welcoming and supportive. Whatever question or challenge came up, there was always a friendly face ready to help us figure it out. The space was the perfect fit for our R&D and our international cast and crew — it felt like home right away. Being part of the Voila Festival in such a creative and encouraging environment was a real privilege. Thank you, Theatre Deli, for your support and belief in our work!"
