WOMEN WITH HATTITUDE
A whimsical celebration of personality and unity — returning May 1, 2025
A stylish benefit for our Women’s Voices Fund
The Women with Hattitude Luncheon is a joyful, vibrant affair that supports the work of women in the American theatre. This event features networking, retail booth displays, seasonal beverages, and a seated luncheon in the dramatic Seawell Ballroom. Following lunch, guests participate in an exciting Parade of Hats, that will highlight the best hats at the event complete with prizes.
This luncheon is attended by individuals from across our Denver community donning extravagant hats and celebrating the artistry of women. Everyone is welcome, and we hope you will join us on May 1, 2025!
