M. Allen Cunningham teaches Writing Fiction with Lin-Manuel Miranda's "Hamilton" at Literary Arts.
Broadway smash and cultural sensation, Hamilton: An American Musical is a masterpiece of fictional form. With its ingenious handling of time, characterization, plot, perspective, voice, theme, and all the other essential elements of storytelling, Hamilton offers writers every ingredient for a master class in creating fiction. This 4-week class will explore the inner fictional workings of the sensational genre-bending musical. Through inspiring listening exercises, writing prompts, analysis, discussion, and related readings, participants will use Hamilton to unlock their understanding of how fiction functions and what makes a good story great.
