This year’s performance, titled “Hogwarts School of Medicine,” will raise money for the Free Medical Clinic of Greater Cleveland and a free clinic the students run two Saturdays a month.
“It’s a really great way to have a fun night out and support a great cause,” Studeny said. “Anybody who’s a fan of Harry Potter should come.”

Performances this year include a faculty dance, “My Epi Pen” (to the tune of “It’s Raining Men”) and “The Way You Make Me Heal” (to Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel”).
“It’s nice to see these medical students, who are so serious all year in their studies, come together and be silly and funny and down to earth for one night,” Studeny said.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for students and children ages 7-17, and free for children 6 and under. The show is at 7 p.m., with a dessert reception at 9:30 p.m.
