One of Vancouver’s most exciting legal events and a valued tradition, The Lawyer Show is the signature fundraising event for Touchstone Theatre, a long-standing cultural institution and registered charity .
Every year, over thirty lawyers take to the boards to prove that acting and the practice of law have way too much in common. Lines are learned, songs are sung, money is raised – and fun and friendship abound along the way. This year’s production is the mega-hit musical Mamma Mia! featuring the music of ABBA.
Now in its 20th year, The Lawyer Show is a superb example of the business + arts sector working together for mutual benefit and has been replicated in several cities and professions. Funds raised from The 2023 Lawyer Show will support Touchstone Theatre’s award-winning artistic programming and new play development initiatives.
