If you've been hungering for a Tomson Highway fix, turns out you won't have to wait until the revival of The Rez Sisters opens on the Factory Theatre mainstage in November.

Factory officials have announced that Highway, one of Canada's most important playwrights and novelists, has agreed to perform a special one-night cabaret in the Studio Theatre, working with Peruvian-Canadian vocalist Patricia Cano, performing a dozen songs from The (Post) Mistress, Highway's latest play.

The evening of cabaret, with proceeds benefiting the Factory Theatre, will take place Oct 27. Tickets, priced at $150 (with a tax receipt issued for the maximum allowable amount) are available at 416-504-9971 or online at factorytheatre.ca.
