Tickets available now for Feb. 9 event at Reynolds Performance Hall
The University of Central Arkansas Public Appearances in partnership with the UCA College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Artist in Residence program will present “Renée Elise Goldsberry – Hamilton Screening & Talkback” Monday, Feb. 9, at 6 p.m. at Reynolds Performance Hall.
The event features a public screening of the hit musical film “Hamilton,” followed immediately by an exclusive live talkback with Goldsberry, who originated the iconic role of Angelica Schuyler.
Goldsberry is a multi-hyphenate actress and singer who has delivered award-winning performances both on Broadway and on the screen. Her performance in the original Broadway production of “Hamilton” earned her a Tony Award and a Grammy Award. She was also nominated for an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in the Disney+ film adaptation and accepted the Emmy for Best Variety Special on behalf of her company in 2021.
Other highlights from Goldsberry’s film and television career include co-starring in A24’s critical darling “Waves,” opposite Sterling K. Brown; the Netflix series “Altered Carbon”; Documentary Now’s cult favorite “Original Cast Album: Co-Op”; “The Good Wife”; “The House With a Clock in its Walls”; “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks”; and her creation of the beloved character Evangeline Williamson on ABC’s “One Life to Live,” for which she received two Daytime Emmy nominations and two NAACP Image Award nominations.
“It is an honor to welcome Renée Elise Goldsberry who is celebrated for her iconic performance as Angelica Schuyler in ‘Hamilton,’” Amanda Horton, executive director of UCA Public Appearances, said. “Her presence brings extraordinary meaning to this occasion as we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.
“Ten years ago, ‘Hamilton’ reshaped how history was told on stage through music, diversity and bold storytelling. This screening invites our community to reflect on the nation’s past, present and future through the lens of one of the most influential theatrical works of our time.”
