Chicago’s First #EduHam

On Wednesday, February 22, 1,900 Chicago public school students packed The PrivateBank Theatre for the Hamilton Education Program’s first Chicago student matinee! Thirty schools participated in the inaugural matinee. Twenty-six students—some in groups, others alone—performed their original rap, instrumental pieces, and poetry, based on the innovative Founding Era curriculum developed by the Gilder Lehrman Institute. The day also included a Q&A with the cast, led by the director, Thomas Kail.
