'''Tony Kushner''' [[Columbia College|CC]] '[[1978|78]] is a playwright who wrote ''Angels in America'' and won a [[Pulitzer Prize]]. 

At Columbia, Kushner was involved in ''[[Jester]]'' and majored in Medieval Studies. He was involved in a protest during his graduation ceremony in 1978. After, he moved on to [[NYU]] to study directing. 

''Angels in America'' was parodied in the [[1994]] [[Varsity Show]] as "[[Angels at Columbia - Centennial Approaches (100th Annual Varsity Show)|Angels at Columbia]]".

Kushner won a [[John Jay Award]] in 1994, and spoke at the [[2004]] CC [[Class Day]].

In ''[[The Blue and White]]'''s monthly interview, The Conversation, Kushner disclosed to [[Juli Weiner]] that he lost his virginity in [[Furnald]] 1006.

Strangely, it took him until 2022 to win an [[I. A. L. Diamond Award]].
