A Conversation with Billy Porter
Broadway headliner and Tony Award-winning performer, Billy Porter (’91) returned to Carnegie Mellon University for a special presentation in CMU’s Chosky Theater.

Billy Porter won the 2013 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance in “Kinky Boots.” Porter steals the show as Lola, the sequin-spangled drag queen.
