CCLA/GCTC Lawyer Play 2027:
The Good Doctor
By Neil Simon
directed by Ava Alavi
May 12 - 15, 2027
This year the GCTC Lawyer Play presents The Good Doctor by Neil Simon, one of Broadway’s most successful playwrights!
The Good Doctor is a series of smart and stylish theatrical adaptations inspired by the stories of Anton Chekhov, brought up to modern times. Our guide through these stories is a writer who introduces us to a colourful array of characters; from a civil servant whose biggest mistake was to sneeze, to a master seducer sharing their secrets, to a loving father introducing his son to the mysteries of life and love.
This comedy bursts the seams of feeling, taking us through scenes that lean so far into the tragic absurdities of life that we come out the other side laughing.
An existential comedy of wit and verve by a master of the stage, this is a great night out at the theatre.
About the Preview Performance
Previews are public performances before the official opening to allow the director, design team, cast, and crew to make small adjustments to the show that weren't found during rehearsals before the gala performances.
What is the Lawyer Play?
The Lawyer Play is a major annual special event fundraiser that GCTC has been conducting for 26 years in partnership with the Carleton County Law Association. Each year, a volunteer cast of local lawyers and legal professionals take the stage in a show produced by GCTC. The event is a significant fundraiser for GCTC, and each year also supports a charity partner, chosen by the lawyers involved.
