We want to send a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the sold-out run of the 2023 Lawyer Show!
To the incredible cast, crew, creative team, and the amazing sponsors and volunteers who brought so much dedication and care to this massive fundraising event – we are in gratitude.
In total, our cast and band of lawyers + professionals put in a whopping 3400 volunteer hours! Now, that’s devotion!
With your support, The Lawyer Show grossed over $100,000 with Touchstone netting $35,000 after expenses. This money will go directly to supporting the future work of Canadian theatre creators.
Thank you so much for supporting local performing arts and bringing all that ABBA-loving energy! We couldn’t have done it without YOU!

ABOUT THE FUNDRAISER
Every year, an ensemble of 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, audiences applaud – and fun and friendship abound along the way!
Now in its 20th year, the Lawyer Show was a fundraising tradition conducted in partnership with Carousel Theatre, and previously the Arts Club. This year Touchstone Theatre is flying solo and ready for the exciting challenge ahead!
Funds raised from The 2023 Lawyer Show will go to support Touchstone Theatre’s award-winning artistic programming, outreach activities, and new play development initiatives.
