NPR Profiles Hamilton Education Program
Posted by Kristin Miller on Thursday, 07/07/2016
The radio journalists at NPR followed some of the 20,000 New York City students who are getting a chance to see the Broadway smash Hamilton thanks to a program of The Rockefeller Foundation and the Gilder Lehrman Institute. A capstone of the Hamilton Education Program is the performance piece based on historical documents that each student must create before coming to the show. Selected students even get to perform at the Richard Rodgers Theatre before the matinee!
Check out the inspiring stories and some of the student performances from NPR.
