The 93rd Annual Bar Show opens on Thursday, December 1, and runs through Sunday, December 4 at DePaul’s Merle ReskinTheatre. The Bar Show is an irrever- ent musical parody written and performed entirely by lawyers and judges–all members of the CBA. The Bar Show has become a Chicago holiday classic and is a great way for members to entertain their clients, family and friends during the holiday season. The show lampoons international, national and local personalities who have made the news during the past year. It’s all in good fun and the members who perform in the show, while not professional actors and actresses, are very talented and never fail to wow the audience. Laughter is great for one’s health and the Bar Show is guar- anteed to bring on a number of hearty belly laughs. So don’t miss this year’s Bar Show, “This Case is a Shamilton.” Main floor tickets are $45 per person and Mezzanine seats are $35 per ticket. Orders of 10 or more tickets will receive a $5 discount.
