    Casta

    Salvage Vanguard Theater presents Adrienne Dawes' new play – an immersive performance that features puppets by Julia Smith and original music by Graham Reynolds – as inspired by Mexican casta paintings that depict the mixing of races in colonial Latin America. Look: A wealthy patron commissions an apprentice to paint a casta series, but the portraits come to life and revolt. Performances (an excellent cast, directed by JKJK) will take place in the Rapaport Atrium of the Blanton Museum's glorious venue.
    Oct. 27, 29-30. All shows: 2pm. $5-12 (free on Thursdays).

    The Austin Séance

    Join natty necromancers Albert Lucio and Jake Cordero of the Austin Séance as they take over the Vortex's Pony Shed to 1) demonstrate tools used by working mediums and 2) use those tools in modern re-creations of old-time séances. We say: This gig is smart, much more hip than hokey, and just right for the demon-haunted holiday weekend.
    Oct. 27-31. Thu., 7:15pm; Fri.-Sat., 7:15 & 9:30pm; Sun.-Mon., 7:15pm. $30.

    Yamel Cucuy

    This new production from the adventurous stage professionals of Glass Half Full Theatre reveals the story of a girl on the precipice of adulthood, contending with the physical and metaphysical violence of borders. Blending sophisticated puppetry with live actors, Yamel Cucuy "draws upon frightening folk tales and modern horror movies to create a terrifying psychological landscape of pitfalls both legal and spiritual." Featuring Gricelda Silva, Gustavo Martinez, Lori Navarrete, Tane Ward, Marina DeYoe Pedraza, Indigo Rael, and Connor Hopkins. Directed by Caroline Reck, with original score by Paul Pinon.
    Through Nov. 5. Thu.-Sat., 8pm; Sun., 6pm. $15-45.
