About Medically Blonde!

The Student-Faculty Show is a decades-long tradition at the Duke University School of Medicine! Entirely directed, produced, written, and performed by Duke University medical students, this full-length musical chronicles the journey of Elle Woods, a brilliant, famously perky, blonde medical student at Duke with dreams of a big career in dermatology. Her perfect plans are turned upside down when her undergraduate mentor decides to drop her from his lab in favor of her more “serious” male counterpart, Warner Huntington III. Elle finds the motivation to prove herself by working hard, with support from her fellow medical students, a surgical resident, and some unexpected allies. Along the way, her classmates are also confronted with questions of identity, purpose, and finding their way in the medical field. Ultimately, Elle defies expectations and manages to stay true to herself, saving lives in her signature pink scrubs, and inspiring the rest of the school to be true to themselves!

**Who will receive the proceeds from Medically Blonde?**

All proceeds from the show will benefit Root Causes with partner Farmer Foodshare! Root Causes is a nonprofit started by some of our very own Duke medical students! Root Causes is an interdisciplinary incubator for students to understand and build innovative social drivers of health (SDOH) interventions through service, advocacy, education, and research. We provide opportunities for undergraduate and professional learners to develop an appreciation for how social drivers of health show up in healthcare, engage with or build community partnership programs that address them, and leave feeling empowered to become change leaders in the future to address issues of SDOH. We run programs in the community such as the Fresh Produce Program that supports over 350 community members with food insecurity, WellNest Housing Support Program that assists over 20 newly housed community members with building a home, Healthy Harvest that runs a local community garden, and Exercise as Medicine that supports community members in reaching their exercise goals. Nonprofit Farmer Foodshare works closely with Root Causes’ Fresh Produce Program to distribute fresh produce to the local community!
