"My name is Itai Malkin, a student in the MD 2019 class. I heard about the annual show every class produces from day one, and I knew I would want to be a part of it to make it the best possible. When planning came around, I gravitated towards helping to write the script. I've taken drama courses in high school and have some practice doing things like this, and one or two people say I am sometimes funny. I enjoyed writing the first few scenes, and one thing led to another and I ended up in the audition room. Now I am acting as Dumbledean. I love Harry Potter and this play really touches on the transitions and struggles that I, and every other student, have faced this year. Our class is so talented it's kind of hard to believe...Until you see it!"

"My name is Anastasiya and I am thrilled to be taking part in MedShow 2016. I have been a competitive rhythmic gymnast for many years but have never previously performed on the theater stage. Since retiring from rhythmic gymnastics, I didn’t really have a chance to perform all the way until MedGames this year. That’s when I realized how much I truly missed performing. There is so much excitement that comes with being in front of a large audience, trying to do your absolute best, and avoiding any mistakes. Performing is an out of body experience where you forget about everything around you and only focus on you and the music. There is nothing comparable to that feeling and I am so excited to be able to participate in MedShow, and for the first time perform on the stage instead of the carpet.

I am the choreographer for the show (with my partner in crime Sarah), and this experience has been amazing! I love using my gymnastics past to come up with dance moves and create a dance piece which combines many different dance styles.  

In MedShow, I got to work closely with many of my classmates and get to know them better. Everyone brings so much talent and has a unique perspective, allowing us to put our ideas together and create a masterpiece. I knew the MedShow experience would be amazing but it has turned out to be even more incredible than I ever imagined. I love my MedShow family and am beyond excited to perform again!
​

Our class worked very hard to create this incredible show and we are very excited for you to come. See you there!"

"Hi! I’m Vanessa and I am playing Ronda (the Hermione character) in this year’s Med Show. This is my first time being a part of such a big production and I can’t wait for everyone to see it! I’ve always loved performing in front of people whether it be through dance, speech competitions, or playing music. I feel privileged to be a part of a show surrounded by my extraordinarily talented colleagues and am so proud that our hard work will help in raising money for our Class Charity!"

"I’m Bridget McDonald and I am one of the producers for MedShow this year. I decided to get involved with MedShow for a number of reasons. I wanted to get to know people in both streams and make some great memories of my first year of medical school. I also wanted to raise money for a good cause while indulging my love of musicals and hilariously re-written songs. I’m also a huge Harry Potter fan and when the theme was chosen I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. If you would have told me a couple years ago that in 2016 I’d be in medical school and producing a Harry Potter-themed musical I would have answered with “I wish!” This whole experience is a dream come true. It’s so nice to hear all members of the community talk about the MedShows through the years and I’m so glad that I have the privilege of helping with ours."

"I was a script writer and performer for the 2016 Medshow. I wrote several parts in act 1 scenes 4 & 5 including the Dumbledean speech and Harry's first experiences in anatomy, histology and PSD classes. My favorite part was writing the lines for Dr. Pectineus Grape. I decided to write because I wanted to channel my creativity into a collective project all our fellow classmates would be able to share and celebrate. I played Ollivander as a role because I used to perform drama and theatre in high school and wanted to relive that experience. Articulating our emotions through word and play helps us reflect on our own personal lives. Writing and performing, even in a small way, has been incredibly rewarding and I feel very lucky to have had a chance to contribute."

There's a kid in the middle of nowhere sitting there, living for Tony performances, singin' and flippin' along with the Pippins and Wickeds and Kinkys, Matildas and Mormonses. So we might reassure that kid and do something to spur that kid. 
​Cause I promise you all of us up here tonight, we were that kid

"I love science, I love medicine, but I have always loved performing. There’s something about the rush you get when you go on stage after hundreds of hours of rehearsals… and you have one night to give everything you’ve got! There’s also something humbling knowing that although you have a crucial role in the show, you are only one small part of a bigger picture.
 
I’ve been performing since I was 6 years old, and I still remember the first performance I ever did. I’m so grateful to be one of the directors for this year’s show. Yes, one of my goals is to make this show an unforgettable show. But another one of my major goals is to show everyone just how much fun performing can be. I was lucky to have been exposed to the thrill of live singing/dancing/acting at a young age, and I’m so lucky to now be able to share that with many of my classmates who have never performed before. This is my first time ever directing a show, but I've learned so much from this role and working which such an incredible cast has re-inspired me in so many ways! I am so grateful to be able to continue my love for performance in medical school, and I hope to continue being involved in performances throughout my entire life!"

"This is my first time acting and singing on stage. I could tell you that I'm doing it because it helps me develop empathy, grow confidence, that it allows me to connect with others and with myself and discover new ways to express human emotion. All of this is true, but at the end of the day I do Med Show for two simple reasons: it's fun, and it makes me happy."

“Music to me has always been very important. It’s given so many opportunities to meet amazing people whose paths I would never have crossed if it wasn’t for music. I have been able to travel around the world performing in international festivals, and bring a smile to people’s faces and joy into their lives. Now, in med school, music and art are an escape. It’s so easy to get caught up in the work and forget who you are, but when I play the violin, when I’m at choir or Med Show rehearsal, it gives me a few hours to forget about all the work that’s waiting for me when I get home, and allows me to be transported to a creative space where nothing else matters in that moment.”

''My name is Nikhile Mookerji, Nik for short, and I am playing Drake in this years MedShow. Drake is loosely based on the infamous Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter series. I am super excited to be part of this years MedShow because the Harry Potter series have been a part of my childhood. I still remember watching the Philosopher’s stone for the first time and getting hooked immediately. MedShow is extremely well organized this year and that is thanks to the fantastic team of students who are in the production/directing of the show. I am excited how it all turns out at the end.''

''There is nothing like the moment at the end of a performance. It is a feeling that is difficult to describe, but anyone who has put in a huge amount of effort for a performance project surely knows that addictive feeling. You feel a surge of pride for the effort put in by the whole team. You feel triumphant because the show came together in the end. You feel relieved because the hard work is over. I used to play and sing for audiences throughout the year until I entered university when I told myself I was too busy – but I miss that feeling. That is why I decided to join the Med Show this year, where I will be acting and singing as Herman Weasley.''
