Join Multicultural Affairs and LGBTQ@Columbia in the kickoff to Trans Awareness Week as we welcome award winning actor, J. Harrison Ghee!

Tony Award and Grammy Award winner J. Harrison Ghee made history as the first nonbinary actor to win in a leading individual performance category for creating the role as “Daphne/Jerry” in SOME LIKE IT HOT, which also garnered them Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards. Also on Broadway, Ghee starred as “Lola” in KINKY BOOTS, created the role of “Andre Mayhem” in MRS. DOUBTFIRE and co-starred opposite Harry Connick, Jr. as “Johnny Hooker” in THE STING. Ghee captured audiences as “The Lady Chablis” in the musical premiere of MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL. On television, Ghee was selected to play the title role in “Robyn’s Story” on the hit FOX anthology series ACCUSED (dir. Billy Porter), starred as “Kwame” in Netflix’s RAISING DION and guest starred on HBO’s HIGH MAINTENANCE.
