SHARING OUR STORIES:
The Eliza Project Documentary
A film directorial debut for Morgan Marcell, original Hamilton cast member, Sharing Our Stories: The Eliza Project is a 10 minute Short Documentary about the inception, purpose and hopeful legacy of The Eliza Project, co-founded by Philippa Soo (original ‘Eliza Hamilton,’ Hamilton) & Morgan Marcell. Featuring Renée Elise Goldsberry, Jonathan Groff, Lin-Manuel Miranda & the students of Graham Windham.
The Eliza Project is a philanthropic endeavor led by Hamilton cast members to lead artistic workshops and create new works with the students at Graham Windham, the orphanage created by Eliza Hamilton herself. It attempts to fulfill Eliza’s legacy and connect an extremely successful Broadway show with its history and the next generation. Sharing Our Stories: The Eliza Project takes an in-depth look at several student workshops taught by current Hamilton cast members.
C/O The Smithsonian:
On Nov. 6, 2017, Marcell debuted her short documentary, “Sharing Our Stories: The Eliza Project” during a donation ceremony at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. The donation included a portrait of Mrs. Alexander Hamilton (Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton) by Daniel P. Huntington from Graham Windham and an 18th –century style green silk suit worn by Lin-Manuel Miranda in the Hamilton musical. Marcel has provided the Smithsonian the rights to use the film to educate audiences about the work of Eliza Hamilton and how her legacy continues to help children today as part of its Philanthropy Initiative. The Eliza Hamilton portrait is on view in the museum’s “Giving in America” exhibit, which currently has a focus on philanthropy and the arts.
