Houston's All-Lawyer Charity Show
Dear Friends and Supporters of Night Court,
Our thoughts are with you and your families during this time.
Night Court is ecstatic to share some wonderful news! We have been working on a streaming performance:
Virtually Legal.
Virtually Legal is an original musical comedy parody show which will feature four of Texas’ beloved legal theater companies:
The streamed show will premiere on December 9, 2021 and will run through January 1, 2022. Ticket prices are $20, and attendees will have the option to donate to each of the four charitable organizations throughout the period. Legal professionals can receive 1 hour of Ethics CLE credit for attending the streaming production. For more information, to purchase tickets and to watch the show, please visit: Virtually Legal | Murad Auctions
Notorious for their often outrageous, hilarious parodies of social, political, and legal topics, each city has a long tradition of creating musical shows each year, always to raise funds for charitable causes. Virtually Legal is no exception with beneficiaries including Houston’s very own Houston Volunteer Lawyers which is a pro bono service arm of the Houston Bar Association, Austin Bar Association’s Austin Young Lawyers Association Foundation, Dallas’ Sarah T. Hughes Diversity Scholarship and Tarrant County’s Tarrant Area Food Bank.
This unprecedented collaboration came about over the summer. In May of 2020, the Texas Access to Justice Foundation (TAJF) hosted a virtual event called Justice Jam. TAJF invited musical acts from across Texas to perform in order to raise funds for emergency legal aid work.
In supporting Justice Jam, it became apparent that multiple cities in Texas hold an annual lawyer musical to raise money for charitable purposes. Because a live musical was not held in 2020, and potentially not possible in 2021, Austin, Houston, Dallas, and Fort Worth joined forces to hold the first ever statewide virtual lawyer musical: Virtually Legal. This 1-hour show will feature the best of what the cities typically perform for their local audiences.
