The Rez Sisters was the winner of the Dora Mavor Moore Award (Toronto's theater awards) for Best New Play and was nominated for the Governor General's Award for Drama.

This award-winning play by Native-Canadian playwright Tomson Highway is a powerful and moving portrayal of seven women from a reserve attempting to beat the odds by winning at bingo. The Rez Sisters is hilarious, shocking, mystical, and powerful, and clearly establishes the creative voice of Native theater and writing in Canada.
