At age 45, Lin-Manuel Miranda has been honored with induction into the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Letters. The acclaimed playwright, known for his groundbreaking work on 'Hamilton,' joins a distinguished group of 21 new members of the 127-year-old honor society.
The induction ceremony will take place in May at the academy's beaux arts complex in Upper Manhattan, near the setting of Miranda's earlier musical, 'In the Heights.' Notable current members of the academy include Robert Caro, Jasper Johns, and Meredith Monk, with past members such as Willem De Kooning and Toni Morrison.
