In 2020, people have realized more than ever how much we need other humans. After social isolation, we’ve realized the importance and value of other people. That’s why Valley House Gallery is hosting a new exhibition, On Being Human. Valley House artists and other figurative artists were invited to this exhibition that showcases wonderful works of art that depict people seen through the artist’s eye. The exhibition is held in memory of Lu Ann Barrow (1943-2020), as “her paintings enriched our lives with uplifting parables on being human,” according to Valley House. This will be on view every Monday-Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. through October 31.
The concert is a love letter to the Town of Addison, as well as to our donors and ticket buyers who have stood by WaterTower Theatre during this very difficult time for the industry. WTT enjoys support from its hometown unlike any other theatre company in North Texas, and we would like to celebrate that relationship with our final season production, the ONE Addison concert. With music direction by Vonda K. Bowling, the concert features songs from The Bridges of Madison County performed by Christine Cornish Smith and Christopher J. Deaton, who were slated to star in the production before it was cancelled by the pandemic. The concert also features performances by singers Feleceia Benton, Devin Berg, Ashley Puckett Gonzales, Brian Gonzales,Jamall Houston, and Denise Lee; musicians Sara Bollinger, Kat Glaze, Eric Jones, Jay Majernik, and Aaron Sutton; an original spoken word piece written and performed by Verb Kulture; and an original dance performance by Kellie Carroll and Ania Lyons.
WaterTower Theatre’s ONE Addison concert features lighting design by Ryan Burkle, set design by Kennedy Styron, Brian Christensen as Sound Engineer, Ashley Puckett Gonzales as Production Manager, and cinematography by Jeremy Bay. WaterTower is pleased to again be working with Director of Cinematography David Singer, the Co-Founder, CEO at Academy of Storytellers and Story & Heart.
WaterTower implemented strict social distancing and very robust safety standards exceeding those of both the CDC and the state of Texas for the rehearsal and filming of this production.
Patrons will be able to stream and enjoy the ONE Addison concert from the comfort and safety of their own homes. All WaterTower season subscribers and single ticket holders from Bridges of Madison County will receive a code to view the concert event online at their convenience during the show’s run dates. Patrons who have not already purchased single tickets can purchase via our website or by calling the box office.
WaterTower has been deeply impacted by the current crisis, as have all arts organizations during recent months, but we are looking forward to the future. Until we can gather together again at WTT, we will continue to provide North Texas artists with safe work opportunities, and our patrons with safe ways to enjoy professional theatre. In 2020, WaterTower plans to evolve from “Theatre that Builds Community” to “Community that Builds Theatre.”

As a bonus, any participant who races $100 will get a free T-shirt! Each registered team will also get a Walk Day kit filled with swag, such as a yard sign, balloons, sidewalk chalk, temporary tattoos, Spotify playlist and more.

Enter the post-apocalyptic vision of a 2,500-year-old play by the Greek tragedian, Sophocles, this November by watching a live-streaming of Antigone, produced by Outcry Youth Theatre. In a city ravaged by a civil war, a young woman named Antigone defies the decree of King Creon and buries her traitorous brother. She is sentenced to death — even though she is betrothed to the King’s son, Haimon. When King Creon refuses Haimon’s pleas for mercy, the King receives an ominous visit from the blind prophet, Teiresias, warning of the danger of executing Antigone. Tickets are available at outcrytheatre.com.
Operation Kindness is hosting the 28th Annual Canines, Cats and Cabernet VIRTUALLY on November 14, 2020. Canines, Cats and Cabernet is the shelter’s largest fundraising event of the year, which enables them to help animals in need of life-saving medical care, companionship, and most of all, a forever home. Guests will “party in place” while supporting the homeless pets of North Texas and will be bidding on the animal organization’s live and silent auctions from the comfort of their home. We may not be able to gather in person, but the animals are still in need of support; the generosity provided by the community will continue to provide lifesaving care to pets in need.

He’s won several awards, including Funniest Comedian in Florida in 2015 and Seattle International Comedy Competition winner in 2016. He’s also appeared in TV shows and was in the top ten on “America’s Got Talent” in 2017 and two years later returned for “America’s Got Talent: The Champions,” where he finished in fifth place. If his Instagram account is any indication, Preacher’s got some hilarious jokes stored up for us. Tickets are available at improvtx. com/addison.
