Musical
Traditionally acted, written, directed, produced, and run entirely by students, the musical is an annual event held in late February or early March of each year. The event draws over a thousand audience members each year and features cameos by law school professors, deans, staff, alumni and other distinguished members of the Minnesota legal community.
The theme, which is kept a secret to all but the Executive Board until auditions, is chosen during the summer. Auditions are held during the fall semester, and the script is written and theater is reserved before spring semester.
Cast members are assigned either to lead parts or to the chorus. Chorus members may also have speaking lines, and often impersonate law school professors, staff, or administrators.
Executive Board members for the following year are elected on the night of each final performance.
