Brown's Daveed Diggs Wins Tony for Hamilton
As the Brown Daily Herald wrote about then Brown track star Diggs:
"As if performing and maintaining his status as a star runner weren’t enough, Diggs has had a leading role in the Central Falls High School Arts Literacy Program. His freshman year, he developed a program with Jody Green ’03 that required students to deconstruct plays and write them in their own terms. Students would then perform the work themselves, using more street-friendly formats to convey the play’s themes. Soon, Diggs and Green were teaching students in the English as a Second Language Program “Romeo and Juliet,” using their hip-hop based format."
