The World Goes Round (2022)

Once again, we have reason to celebrate a fantastic partnership that has evolved between the Manitoba Bar Association (MBA) and the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre (RMTC).  Each year, a cast made up entirely of volunteer lawyers, law students, judges, and other member of the legal community devote their time and energy to put their dramatic skills on display in a spectacular show.  

This year’s production, The World Goes ‘Round was the 29th co-production between the RMTC and the MBA.  

Auditions for this production were held in November 2021 and shortly thereafter the selected cast started to prepare for the scheduled opening on May 10, 2022.  

Although I am seriously underqualified to provide a reputable review of theatre, I can say that the performance was highly entertaining.  Each actor had their moment to shine and put on energetic and fantastic performances.  

On behalf of the MBA, I would like to thank the cast and crew for their tremendous contribution toward the success of this partnership.  It is because of your incredible volunteer efforts that we can raise funds for the RMTC and showcase one of the ways the legal profession gives back to the community. To date, the MBA has raised over $1.1 million dollars for the Royal MTC.  

I would also like to thank the Director, Danny Carroll, the Stage Manager, Chuck McEwen, the staff of the RMTC, the Lawyers Play Committee members, and the featuring sponsors, 300 Main, Lawton Partners, U of M Faculty of Law, and Jones & Company.  Without the support and efforts of all these people, the show may not have gone on.  

Finally, thanks to all of those who attended for their support both the MBA and the RMTC.

President, Manitoba Bar Association
