Maggie Cassella has tackled nearly every aspect of the business of show. From behind the live event or camera to in front, Maggie has written, directed, produced, acted in, and hosted more events than you can shake a stick at. Though why is anyone shaking sticks? What did sticks ever do to them?

Over the years hundreds of thousands of dollars in proceeds have gone to make transformational donations to grassroots LGBTQ2S+ charities across Canada.
