From the Kent State University Museum:
The Katharine Hepburn Dressed for Stage and Screen exhibition is returning to the Kent State University Museum after traveling around the country for the past seven years. The exhibition, opening Feb. 2 and running through Sept. 2, 2018, last appeared in the museum in 2010. Kent State University Museum Director Jean Druesedow is the curator of the exhibition.
The unique exhibition will display performance costumes from the stage productions of The Philadelphia Story, Without Love and Coco, and classic films such as Adam’s Rib, Stage Door and Long Day’s Journey Into Night, and many of her television movies including Love Among the Ruins. Additionally, Hepburn’s “signature look,” an ensemble of tailored beige trousers and linen jackets, will be featured along with vintage posters, playbills, photos and other related artifacts that illustrate Hepburn’s 66-year career.
