In March 2016, she joined the cast of a new play by Helen Yotis Patterson, the telling of Greek women migrating to Australia during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The play is a series of monologues, interspersed with traditional Greek music and songs of the time. The piece resonated deeply with Maria as her own parents' stories of migration resonated within the stories of Taxithi. For the first time in Maria's theatrical career she was given the opportunity to sing in Greek.^[3][4]
