2022 Kaleidoscope Ball

On Saturday, April 2nd, hundreds of Performing Arts Houston supporters came together to celebrate in style at the 2022 Kaleidoscope Ball, Celebrating Houston. The event honored longtime supporters Phoebe and Bobby Tudor at the Wortham Theater Center in downtown Houston and was chaired by Kristina and Paul Somerville.

Attendees enjoyed an outdoor cocktail hour on Fish Plaza, dinner catered by Jackson & Company, a record breaking auction, and a kaleidoscope of performers reflecting and celebrating Houston's diverse artistic landscape, including live music by Asleep at the Wheel, the High School of Performing and Visual Arts, and the Westbury High School Marching Band. Attendees then danced for hours to DJ Corey Greene at the After-Party, which went well past midnight. Kaleidoscope Ball supporters got a sneak peek at our new name, brand, and the 22/23 Season. The event, the organization’s last under the SPA brand, broke a record with nearly $600,000 in support of our presentations and education and community engagement programs, making it our highest grossing event ever! We hope you’ll save the date for next year’s Ball, chaired by Mignon & Steve Gill, on April 1, 2023.
