Exhibits
William Ivey Long: Costume Designs 2007-2016
Opening day
North Carolina native William Ivey Long is one of the most renowned theatrical costume designers working today. This exhibition, organized by The Mint Museum, explores Long’s most recent work. It features the theatrical productions "The Lost Colony" (redesigned 2007–2008), "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" (2012), "Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella" (2013), "Little Dancer" (2014), and "On the Twentieth Century" (2015), as well as the television specials "Grease Live!" (2016), and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again" (2016). Focusing on Long’s process, it features sketches, swatches, mood boards, and other preparatory materials in addition to the costumes themselves. As part of Museum Day Live! the Mint will offer gallery tours, a free lecture from Long himself, and a book signing of the new publication "William Ivey Long."
