How did your love story begin?

We met at a month-long actor training intensive for Shakespeare and were paired as Troilus and Cressida and made each other bonkers during the rehearsal process and then gave an amazing performance. Then, we stayed long-distance friends until we realized that situation was also bonkers.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

There are so many and difficult to land on one -- but it might be, perhaps, when we had difficulty getting our child to come into this world and the epidural was ordered and the anesthesiologist looked and sounded like one of Marge Simpson's chain-smoking sisters and had no bedside manner and said the worst side effect is "death" and Ivan was emphatic that another anesthesiologist be called and Lynn said, "There is no one else. It's all good. NO ONE IS GOING TO DIE TONIGHT."

What would you do with $20,000?

We would take a much-overdue family vacation and donate money to the rescues who helped us get our beautiful adopted Turks/Caicos fur-baby, Daisy, to Toronto during pandemic lockdown. (BAARK! in Bahamas and FUR Florida Urgent Rescue) !!
