Profundo Bono’s Biannual Musical The Finishing School

Profundo Bono, the Delaware legal community’s non-profit troupe of unlikely thespians, will pay tribute to their long-time scriptwriter, musician, and friend the late Judge Robert Young by performing his last script, The Finishing School, on November 11 & 12 at the Laird Performing Arts Center at the Tatnall School in Wilmington starting at 7:30 p.m. and November 13 at The Schwartz Center for the Arts in Dover at 2:00 p.m. The Finishing School is a rip-roaring comedy based on a dark Broadway show written by Lillian Hellman in 1934. The performance — including 24 musical numbers — will leave the audience in stitches (medical care not provided). The Finishing School will be the group’s ninth production since 2004, with each comedic script written by Judge Young being loosely based on a dreary piece of literary fiction. In past years, there have been shows based on the works of William Shakespeare, Herman Melville, Tennessee Williams, and Arthur Miller. Tickets, which remain at the bargain price of $25 per seat, may be purchased at www.profundobono.org, and interested sponsors and advertisers should contact Adam Hiller at ahiller@adamhillerlaw.com. All net proceeds from the performances are donated to the Combined Campaign for Justice, which raises funds to provide operating support for Delaware’s three agencies dedicated to providing legal assistance to indigent clients. Condolences to Ronald G. Poliquin, Esquire, on the death of his father, Donald G. Poliquin, who died on October 5, 2022. Condolences to The Honorable Vivian L. Medinilla on the death of her mother, Myriam Schwartz de Medinilla, who died on October 7, 2022. Condolences to William Annos, Esqurie, on the death of his wife and The Honorable Theodore W. Annos and Constance A. Dorsney, Esquire, on the death of their mother, Irene Jester Annos, who died on October 14, 2022.
