Play Synopsis: Tomson Highway’s musical cabaret tells the story of a wingless little mosquito from Manitoba with all the whimsy and wise humour any audience could ask for. The ageless theme of a misfit, who finds her voice through song and who learns to make friends by communicating directly with her audience, is a timely treat for anyone who has felt like an outsider, dealt with bullying, moved to a new place, or was different from the rest of
the pack.
