Encore! Encore!: Costumes Take Another Bow

In this exhibit every costume has played more than one role—stepping into new productions, new stories, and new identities. Designers have resized them, re‑styled them, and reimagined them to serve different characters and evolving artistic visions. By reusing costumes, theatres reduce waste, conserve resources, and spark creativity within real‑world limitations. As you explore, imagine the designers who re‑envisioned them, the hands that altered each piece, and the performers who brought them to life.
