Q&A
By Christopher Shuttlesworth
HAMILTON Education Program released “its third of 10 all-student matinee performances in 2017, which will provide 20,000 Chicago high school students the opportunity to experience the musical HAMILTON after having spent several weeks in their classrooms studying American history through a special integrated curriculum about Alexander Hamilton and the nation’s Founding Fathers. In addition to seeing a performance of HAMILTON
on Mar. 15, 2017, the Chicago students represented various schools in attendance and performed an original work they created based on their classroom studies – songs, rap, poetry, scenes, monologues – on The PrivateBank Theatre stage in front of their peers,” according to an HAMILTON press release. The Chicago Citizen was able to speak with Performer Jai Caldwell, who represented Disney Magnet II High School, located at 3900 Lawndale Ave., and who performed a spoken word biography based on the wife of Alexander Hamilton.
