James Blackwood SKY

James Blackwood is brand new to theatre, brand new to Vancouver, and brand new to law! He is a first-year student at the Peter Allard School of Law at UBC. Originally from a small Alberta farm town, he now is living the big city lifestyle of stress and unreasonably high rent. The Lawyer Show has presented not only an invaluable escape fromv the stresses of life and law school, but an incredible opportunity to network with brilliant and talented members of the legal profession. Couldn’t be happier to be a part of it!

Jonathon Braun EDDIE

Jonathon is excited to rejoin the Lawyer Show, having previously appeared in Hairspray!, Grease, and The Drowsy Chaperone. He has only seen a Polish production of Mamma Mia! while on exchange in Warsaw, so he was excited getting to actually understand the plot this time around. For work, Jonathon Braun is the legal director at Migrant Workers Centre, a local non-profit offering free legal services to migrant workers. When he’s not learning choreography or representing clients, Jonathon loves getting overly competitive in board games or being outdoors hiking and skiing.

Seeley Brocklebank ENSEMBLE

Seeley was called to the bar in 2003 and figured that the best way to celebrate her 20th anniversary of being a lawyer was to audition for The Lawyer Show, which she has wanted to do for years. What a great decision that was! She loves ABBA and is thrilled to be a part of such a talented cast. When she is not busy practicing the art of singing and dancing at the same time, she is an adjudicator with the Review Division of WorkSafeBC.

Cobi Dayan

BILL AUSTIN

Cobi is thrilled to be back for his fifth Lawyer Show, having previously appeared in Urinetown, The Drowsy Chaperone, Grease, and Hairspray. Cobi caught the acting bug and had his first foray into theatre over 20 years ago, right here at the Waterfront Theatre. You may also recognize Cobi from his performance as a Commercial Litigation Partner at Miller Thomson LLP. Cobi wants to thank everyone who made this year’s production possible and to Mel, Aviva and Shai for all their love and support!

Jeevyn Dhaliwal ENSEMBLE

Jeevyn took her parents’ advice to have ‘something to fall back on’ in going to UBC law as a back up to her singing career. Over 25 years later, she is 1 part lawyer, 1 part wife and mother to 1 husband, 1 child, and 2 dogs. She is currently the 1st Vice President of the Law Society of British Columbia and when she is not working and volunteering, she finds a bit of time to squeak out a few songs. She is thrilled to be part of the Lawyer’s Show, which has been on her bucket list since its inception.

Kate Dueck ENSEMBLE

Kate is an associate at Roper Greyell LLP. In her free time she escapes to her cabin, hangs out with her cats, and listens to Taylor Swift (often all three interests coincide – she’s nothing if not a multitasker). Kate is excited and grateful for the opportunity to be involved in her first Lawyer Show! Thank you to Roper Greyell, friends, and family for the enthusiastic support.

Miller Thomson is proud to support The 2023 Lawyer Show and its production of Mamma Mia!

We hope you enjoy the show.

Elan Hannah ENSEMBLE

Elan is completing her second year of law school at the Peter A. Allard School of Law and she will be working as a summer student at Boughton Law. Once upon a time, Elan had a lively career in the performing arts, including as a dancer aboard cruise ships in the Caribbean and as a singer in various cover bands around Vancouver. Mamma Mia! is Elan’s first appearance on stage in a decade. She is very excited to be joining the Lawyer Show cast!

Vince Kanasoot PEPPER

Vince is a communications specialist for the Chartered Professional Accountants of BC, as well as a theatre reviewer for Stir. His performance credits include dancing onboard numerous cruise ships for Princess Cruises and Royal Caribbean International, as well as musicals across Canada such as The Producers (Stage West), Miss Saigon (Drayton Entertainment), Urinetown: The Musical (Firehall Arts Centre), Cabaret (Tomo Suru), Singin’ in the Rain and 42nd St (RCMT) and Mamma Mia! (TUTS). He was recently seen in the indie film The Endless Potential of Playing Pretend. Follow his adventures on IG @ VanCityVince.

Johanna Goosen

TANYA | ENSEMBLE

Johanna is thrilled to be back for the 2023 Lawyer Show! It’s always a pleasure to be part of this fundraiser, particularly after a few years off. Thanks so much for all the time and effort put into this production by the creative team. It’s been a blast!

Stacey Grubb ENSEMBLE

Stacey is delighted to be back performing with the Vancouver Lawyer Show. While completing her law degree at the University of Alberta, a love of dance and a passion for performing led Stacey into the world of theatre. Favourite theatre credits include: Singing in the Rain, Fiddler on the Roof, Anne of Green Gables and Mary Poppins (Festival Players), Guys & Dolls (Metro Theatre), The Sound of Music (Horizon Players), Anything Goes (Walterdale Theatre), and The Matchmaker (Players de Novo). When not at the theatre or in a dance studio, Stacey is the Executive Director of Legal Services, Contracts & Privacy at Island Health. Stacey thanks her parents for their love and support.
