DiverseWorks presents a solo exhibition of work by plasma sculptor Anahita (Ani) Bradberry , imagining unfathomable scales. The exhibition aims to create an atmosphere of contemplation and lucidity, capturing the moment when an idea that seems too vast is transformed into a visceral and comprehensible feeling. In choreography with the cycle of the sun and moon, the work is both a constructed celestial environment rooted in place and time as well as a psychological space for communing with the ineffable.Read more

as told by Kevo

In a hilarious yet biting reimagining of the infamous Salem Witch Trials, A Salem Witch Trial: As Told by Kevo flips history on its head with satire, suspense, and shocking revelations. A crooked Pastor and a power-hungry Governor conspire to bend Salem’s fearful townspeople to their will. Outrageous accusations spread like wildfire, neighbors betray one another, and long-hidden truths rise to the surface in ways no one expected.

What begins as a laugh-out-loud spoof quickly sharpens into a scathing social mirror—exposing how corruption thrives when fear, greed, and blind faith collide. And just when you think you know the truth, the unsettling question lingers: was there ever a real witch in Salem after all?

Blending dark comedy with historical parody, this bold one-act performance showcases the wit, edge, and fearless storytelling that define Kevo’s award-winning productions. Featuring a dynamic cast of seasoned actors from Kevo’s previous plays— What Do We Do Now? , Vincent: Homage to Van Gogh , Medusa: As Told by Kevo , Adam’s Apple , and Who Stole the Mona Lisa? —alongside fresh Houston talent, this play promises an unforgettable night of theater.

⚠️ Audience Note: Due to mature themes, profanity, religious parody, and horror elements, this show is recommended for audiences ages 10 and up. (Yes, even the youngest actor is 10!)

Step into Salem like you’ve never seen it before—part comedy, part cautionary tale, from the mind of Kevo.Read more
