Valley House Gallery is pleased to present their third solo exhibition of paintings by Fort Worth artist Sedrick Huckaby, called "When Old People Talk To Young People." This follows his critically acclaimed exhibition "Big Momma's House" at Valley House Gallery in 2008, which was homage to his grandmother at the end of her life and her role as nucleus of their family. In the 3 years since, Huckaby has continued his focus on his family, his faith, and his African-American heritage in paintings of quilts that he uses as parables for communication between old people and young people.

MBS PRODUCTIONS: A BUR-LESS-Q NUTCRACKER
The women of the Beulaville Baptist Book Club are in dire straits financially, and as a last ditch attempt to save their book club they decide to do a fundraiser and hire the Beaumont Ballet to perform Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker." Madge's Piρa Colada Casserole unfortunately sickens the entire cast with food poisoning and they are unable to perform. Luckily, there is another dance troop in town. It seems the Velvet Kittens Burlesque Dancers are stuck in Beulaville because their van broke down on their way to New Orleans. Madge has never heard of Burlesque, or as she pronounces it "Bur-less-Q", and in an act of necessity hires the dance troupe to do "The Nutcracker." The end result? The most original, unusual and comical Nutcracker you have ever seen! The Bur-Less-Q will run from Nov. 25 Dec. 27 at the Stone Cottage Theatre (15650 Addison Road, 75001). For more information and tickets, visit burlesquenutcracker.com or call 214-477-4942.
