Pittsburgh's Billy Porter puts on ‘Kinky Boots' |

TribLIVE: Billy Porter hates labels. “I hate to put labels on myself. I’m an artist first and foremost. Wherever that leads me, that’s where I’ll be,” he says. During his artistic career, the East Liberty native has acted in Broadway musicals that include “Smokey Joe’s Cafe” and “Grease” and, more recently, performed off-Broadway in Signature Theatre Company’s “Angels in America.”
