Things to know:

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s family is from Puerto Rico, an island in the Caribbean Sea. Today, Puerto Rico is still a commonwealth, but some people want it to become the fifty-first state of America. Others want Puerto Rico to become its own country.

Lin-Manual writes plays.

A play is a performance that tells the story through speech. A musical tells the story through both singing and talking. A play has characters, scenes (different parts of the play) , dialogue (speaking lines), and stage directions (an action, a character’s feelings or any other important information ). Have you ever thought about writing your own play?

Do you like reading books about real people? Lin-Manuel read a biography about Alexander Hamilton. By reading that book, Lin-Manual was inspired to write one of the most popular Broadway plays of all times.
