August Wilson Red Door Project
Presents ‘Cop Out: Beyond Black,
White & Blue’
The August Wilson Red Door Project presents the
world premiere of “Cop Out: Beyond Black, White &
Blue” Nov. 30 at Self Enhancement, Inc.
“Cop Out” is a series of monologues based on inter-
views with police officers from across the country.
The Red Door Project commissioned writers to in-
terview cops, mostly officers of color, who are often
caught in the middle of the complex conversation on
racial profiling. The stories in Cop Out reflect this
complexity and breadth of lived experience. The Red
Door also solicited feedback from a broad spectrum
of audiences who attended previews, and has used
that feedback to help shape the opening Nov. 30.

Vintage Meier & Frank Fashions
Return to Downtown Portland in
New Display by OSU Students
A collection of vintage clothing and accessories
from the original Meier & Frank Department Store
in downtown Portland is returning to the historic
building this fall in a new window display designed
by Oregon State University students.
The display, which showcases the history of the
Meier & Frank Building and fashion through time,
was installed in a space made available to OSU’s Col-
lege of Business by The Nines Hotel, which occupies
the building’s top floors. The window is located on
Morrison Street to the right of The Nines entrance.
Oregon State is The Nines’ newest neighbor in the
iconic Meier & Frank Building. The university is leas-
ing the second floor of the building for its new Port-
land Center. Classes began in the freshly remodeled,
39,509 square-foot space in September.
OSU’s College of Business is home to the universi-
ty’s design programs, including apparel design, in-
terior design, design management, merchandising
management and retail management.. The college
also is offering undergraduate and graduate busi-
ness degrees in a hybrid in-person/online format at
the new Portland center.
The pieces featured in the display window were
chosen from among hundreds in the university’s
Historic and Cultural Textile and Apparel Collection.
The collection was started in the early 1900s when
professors began bringing their personal artifacts to
OSU for use in class instruction and display.
