93rd Annual Bar Show–
“This Case is a Shamilton”
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. For
