Montclair Kimberley Academy hosts 'A Conversation with Lin-Manuel Miranda'
On March 7, 2016, MKA hosted, A Conversation with Lin-Manuel Miranda. The brilliant Miranda is the creator and star of the broadway hit Hamilton. He was named a 2015 MacArthur Fellow and has received numerous accolades including a Grammy Award for Hamilton and a Tony Award for In The Heights. The PAMKA Guest Lecture Program, formerly known as Academy Forum, has the purpose of opening the school to the wider community for programs featuring individuals of distinction in their field. Through careful planning by PAMKA, led by the event chair and MKA Trustee, Karen Gulliver, approximately 725 people were in attendance for a memorable evening. The conversation with Lin-Manuel Miranda was artfully moderated by Upper School Dean of Student Life, Dominique Gerard. Unaccompanied Minors, our Upper School a cappella group, provided a brilliant and surprise mash-up of songs from Hamilton.
