DOC OPERA
Doc Opera is a variety show unique to the Case School of Medicine. All of the performances are written, choreographed and performed by the medical students and focus on the only life we now know: the amusing sides of CaseMED, medicine in general, and the city of Cleveland. The show serves a dual purpose: a showcase of the wonderful and variable talents of Case medical students and a fundraiser for a truly amazing organization - the Free Clinic of Greater Cleveland.
We take great effort to celebrate the quality and creativity that Doc Opera has represented for over the past 20 years while choosing performances that best showcase the talents of our classmates. From juggling and belly dancing to country swing, acting, and show tunes to rap and R & B, Doc Opera is truly a variety show.
