As an awkward theater kid in high school, Lin-Manuel writes a play and, as he watches it come to life on stage, he realizes how much of himself and his past made its way into his work and still continues to do so.

This story was originally recorded on June 30, 2021 at a Moth Mainstage show at United Palace in Washington Heights, presented by global storytelling organization The Moth, in partnership with Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance (NoMAA).
