In this unique immersive theatre, DIY experience - created and performed by writer/artist Katie Bender - the audience is invited to summon the spirit of escape artist Harry Houdini and maybe, in the process, break free from the traps in their own lives.

Instructions for a Séance is a playful yet poignant exploration of motherhood, artistic ambition, and the urge to disappear. Inspired by the Houdini archives at the Ransom Center, Séance is a 70-minute theatrical gem: compact, gleaming, and utterly unforgettable.

The performance will take place in the Rehearsal Room at Bass Concert Hall.
