We’re one day away from Lin-Manuel Miranda + Friends, a special and unique event created just for Tilles Center! Join us as we host a moderated conversation with Pulitzer Prize, Grammy, Emmy and Tony Award-winning songwriter, actor, producer and director Lin-Manuel Miranda. Complementing the conversation and performing works from “Hamilton” and “In the Heights” are Broadway stars Mandy Gonzalez (“In the Heights,” “Wicked,” “Hamilton”) and Javier Muñoz (“In the Heights,” “Hamilton”). Music direction and piano by Dan Lipton. The conversation will be moderated by Jeremy McCarter, co-author, with Lin-Manuel Miranda, of two New York Times bestsellers, Hamilton: The Revolution and In the Heights: Finding Home. Dan Lipton will be leading a three-piece band of musicians sourced from the RISE Theatre Directory, co-founded by Lin-Manuel. The Directory seeks to build a more equitable and inclusive theatre industry. Musicians for the evening will be guitarist Jacinta Clusellas, drummer Emma Ford and bassist Irio O'Farrill. Additionally, students from the award-winning Central Islip High School Concert Choir will join the company for the celebratory closing numbers. We are proud to partner with the Miranda Family Fund in the creation of opportunities for artists of color. Proceeds from Lin-Manuel Miranda + Friends support these efforts. Sponsored, in part, by Victoria Rodriguez Minowitz & Robert Minowitz, Diana and Randy Plotnitzky and Brenda and Jason Wilensky. #TillesCenter #LIU #LongIsland #LinManuelMiranda #ThingsToDoOnLongIsland #Broadway #Hamilton #IntheHeights
