THE HAUNTING OF LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA isn’t your average night at the theater—it’s a full-on historical reckoning wrapped in stage lights and creative fire. Spearheaded by local producer Courtenay Cholovich and a dream team of Chattanooga’s finest performing arts organizations, this powerful play by legendary Chatt-born writer Ishmael Reed takes Hamilton himself to task, with a ghostly twist. It’s bold, timely, and unapologetically real—a perfect blend of art and activism that brings the past into conversation with the present.
With the UNFoundation’s $500 boost, Courtenay and crew are one step closer to making this May production sing (and haunt) even louder. From community conversations to spotlighting underrepresented talent and raising awareness about the historic Howard School auditorium, this project is more than a performance—it’s accessible, collaborative, and steeped in Chattanooga soul.
