Theatre of the Relatively Talentless

[1] TORT is a campus life program through the University of Minnesota Student Activities Office and operates under the purview of the Law School.

The show is notable for its cameos by law school professors, deans, staff, alumni and other distinguished members of the Minnesota legal community.

Chorus members may also have speaking lines, and often impersonate law school professors, staff, or administrators.

TORT has its own pit orchestra, also composed entirely of law students, which provides musical accompaniment for the show.

[28][29] This group is responsible for organizing the alumni afterparty for the Saturday night performance of each year's musical.
