The Historic Districts Council invites you to a conversation about In the Heights, the hit movie musical that celebrates the culture of Upper Manhattan, featuring music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

In the Heights features a variety of characters who portray the unique way of life of Washington Heights residents. It offers an exceptional depiction of the Caribbean culture that has flourished in Upper Manhattan for the past decades and the music that is synonymous with the area’s vitality.

The movie’s Location Manager, Samsom Jacobson, will be joined in conversation with Angel Ayón, HDC advisor and preservation architect. Samsom and Angel will explore the logistics of the production and its achievements in depicting the story of so many Caribbean immigrants in New York City.
