2026 Meredith Miller Memorial Lecture with Shaina Taub

Two-time Tony Award winner, Obie Award winner, Grammy and Emmy Award nominee Shaina Taub is a songwriter, performer, and artist-in-residence at New York City’s Public Theater.

With the 2024 Broadway opening of her original musical Suffs, she became the first woman in history to win Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Score by herself. Hailed by The New York Times as “belonging to a breed of performers, who, apart from being artists, are gravitational forces around whom others cluster like filings to a magnet,” Taub is a solo artist signed to Atlantic Records, with three acclaimed albums in her catalog. She was named to Time100’s Next List of rising leaders shaping the future.

Shaina will be joined in conversation with Professor Stacy Wolf. Stacy Wolf is one of America’s foremost scholars on musical theatre. She is Professor of Theater at Princeton, Director of Fellowships, and Director of Princeton’s new Program in Music Theater. She is the author of Beyond Broadway: The Pleasure and Promise of Musical Theatre Across America (Oxford University Press, 2020), which explores musical theater across the country in local and amateur venues like summer camps, high schools, and community theatres. Her chapter on Disney musicals in elementary schools appears in The Disney Musical: Stage, Screen, and Beyond.
