Dressing Outloud Opening Reception

Opening reception: November 13, 2025 | 4:00-6:00 pm

Dressing Outloud features the work of Meghan Anderson Doyle and Kevin Copenhaver, two costume designers from the Denver Center of the Performing Arts (DCPA). Continuing a trend from a 2022 exhibition with Doyle and Copenhaver at the Experience Gallery, Behind the Curtain, this exhibition includes costumes, renderings and photos that originated from DCPA productions of Hamlet, A Christmas Carol, Frankenstein and Twelfth Night. Like all good stories, though, this show has a twist. Dressing Outloud also showcases Doyle’s bold work from several of Meow Wolf’s Trashion runway shows, Copenhaver’s elaborate burlesque costumes, and the pair’s intricate and frightening zombie costumes.

Throughout the exhibition, digital design students from CU Denver’s College of Arts & Media have created interactive elements that enhance the installed portions of the exhibition. Walk virtually through the costume-making process, go on a scavenger hunt throughout the gallery, take a quiz to find out which costume matches your personality, and play a textile game all without leaving the gallery.
