INSTRUCTIONS FOR A SÉANCE 

By Katie Bender 

Directed By Lily Wolff

A DIY SÉANCE TO SUMMON HARRY HOUDINI

“I literally just googled ‘instructions for a séance’. I took the night off, escaped the kid’s bedtime, to try this here with you. Tonight.”

Take your seat at Katie Bender’s “DIY séance party”, as she attempts night after night to escape her own life by summoning the spirit of master escapologist Harry Houdini. This theatrical experiment, first workshopped at The Playwrights Center and The Alley All New Festival, transforms Bender’s mesmerizing personal journey into a collective experience that asks the audience: what are you trying to escape?

Don’t miss the opportunity to participate in this unpredictable theatrical event, where reality and illusion converge in a gripping exploration of the human experience.

Content Warning: Please be advised this séance contains strong language, a reference to sexual assault, and brief description of physical violence.
