Lin-Manuel Miranda, whose credits include award-winning composer, lyricist, performer, and star of the Broadway show Hamilton, will present at this year’s Thomas Roy and Lura Forrest Jones Visiting Lecture 5 p.m. February 12 in Kamine Gymnasium inside Allan P. Kirby Sports Center. Miranda blended history and art seamlessly in his Tony-award winning musical Hamilton, which has become a global phenomenon and featured the Marquis de Lafayette as a significant character, originally played by Daveed Diggs. The discussion with President Nicole Hurd, titled “Opportunity and Art: A Conversation with Lin-Manuel Miranda,” will be a ticketed event, with admission reserved for current students, faculty, and staff of the College. Tickets can be requested using this form and will be provided electronically on your Pard Card. If demand exceeds supply, distribution will be done via randomized lottery. A livestream broadcast of the event will also be available for the College community, alumni, and friends, with a recording posted to the College’s website. Details regarding livestream broadcast access will be released in early February.
