A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To the Law School

Well, a funny thing happened at the law school. Namely, I (and many many other people) went to go see the annual Parody Show run by the Harvard Law Drama Club this week. This year, it was entitled "The Hark Knight".* There was signing, dancing, a lot of jokes about Alan Dershowitz, and a prolonged musical goodbye to Dean Kagan called "Farewell My Dean" set to the tune of "Come On Ilene." The plot focused on our ex-dean as she schemed to place herself on the Supreme Court by kidnapping Justice Stevens. Tonight was the last show, so I'm not ruining the ending for anyone when I say that she renounced her evil plan at the last moment after a heart-warming letter writing campaign by the students coordinated by Bruce Arraign/Batman. The people in it from my section were incredibly talented, and everyone had a good time. It was really impressive to see HLS students act and joke their way through three hours of script.

SB, does YLS do a parody?




* Last year, it was "Harry Issue Spotter and the Goblet of Breyer."

Cat, that sounds like so much fun! We *do* have something similar - here it's called "Law Revue." My roommate is actually one of the writers! Our show isn't for a while yet, though.
