The 2011/2012 Vancouver Lawyer Show is... Guys and DollsA Musical Fable of Broadway Gamblers, gangsters, and gals in the city that never sleeps!

Throw in Sarah Brown, who's short on sinners at the mission; Sky Masterson, who accepts Nathan's $1000 bet that he can't lure Sarah Brown to Havana; Miss Adelaide, who's desperate to marry Nathan; the meddling Police Lieutenant Brannigan; and lively songs like “Luck Be A Lady” and you've got an evening to remember—you can bet on it! One of Broadway’s favourite musicals, it premiered in New York in 1950 and was immortalized by the 1955 film starring Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra. AuditionsAuditions will take place on November 3rd 2011 6pm to 9pm and November 5th 2011 from 2pm to 5pm, at the Carousel Theatre Rehearsal Hall – 1411 Cartwright St. Granville Island. |

Bongard is a graduate of the class of '91 and Vice·President & Co-Founder of ZSA Legal Recruitment. At ZSA, he represents law firms and companies in their recruitment efforts to land legal talent and plays a key consulting role in orchestrating law firm mergers.

He did a great job in leading the alumni association to its next level," says Bongard. Bongard served on the UWOlAA board for the past two years and sees this as an ideal opportunity to step up and give back to what he calls "the best law school in the country." "This is my chance to create greater connections and bring people closer together. I want to raise awareness of the quality of our law school and of our graduates," Bongard says. "Our alumni are an amazing group of people." The alumni association is working diligently to plan some great events and reunions at Homecoming, which takes place from September 30 to October 3.
