Bishop Arts Theatre Center — Mon, 10 Aug 2026 20:00:00 Z

Two brothers, both musicians. The classical pianist is Christian. The jazz bassist is Muslim. When Bilal is accused of being a terrorist and jailed awaiting trial, Eric tries to stay connected by pushing aside his own classical aspirations in order to learn big brother's jazz style. Separated by prison bars and religious convictions, the brothers scat and be-bop through their shared language of music. As his brother's trial progresses, Eric becomes disillusioned and struggles to decide if he believes the charges levied against his beloved older brother, or if false accusations make him a beleaguered martyr to a prejudiced, paranoid nation.

Seasoned Conversations Truth Series to Educate and Empower Texas' Seniors

Series of Free Educational Seminars Provide Answers to Late-Life Changes

Dallas TX: The truth. It's what Dallas residence want concerning late-in-life changes like reverse mortgages, 55+ senior living options, selling a house in today's market, and preparing to "stay put" in your own home as you age in place.

These topics, along with others, will be presented in the upcoming Seasoned Conversation Truth Series as 60-90 minute monthly educational seminars beginning on January 13, 2022, 10:00 am, at the Network of Community Ministries, 1500 International Pkwy, Unit 300, Richardson, TX 75081. We invite adults 55+, caregivers, and their families to attend the free "Seasoned Conversations Truth Series" to learn about issues related to homeownership and post-retirement downsizing in the DFW area as they navigate change.

This series of candid conversations and expert panel discussions about the unique and often complex issues facing long-time homeowners is to be moderated by Angela McCants, considered the leading authority on issues related to downsizing, late-life relocation, and (55+) living solutions. As the founder of Dallas Supreme Relocations and Broker Associate with Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate, Angela McCants and her business partner, Steven Oliphant, have made it their mission to educate and guide consumers and their families on best practices related to post-retirement living.

"Seniors and families realize that the market is good right now in Dallas, Richardson, Plano, and surrounding areas and are preparing to sell current homes and move into something more manageable," said McCants. "Many seniors have no idea what is available to them, how much it will cost or the process for making all the pieces fit together. We want to give them trustworthy information, introduce them to trusted local resources, and answer their questions. Beyond helping with immediate needs, we intend to give individuals and families direction and confidence, so they feel empowered when they decide it is time to make a change."

Seasoned Conversations, Truth Series, debuts with "The Truth About Touring Senior Communities" on January 13, followed by " The Truth About Trusts, Wills, and Guardianships" on February 10, "The Truth About Downsizing, Right-sizing, and Simplifying" on March 10, 2022. Seasoned Conversations will introduce more topics as the series gets underway.

"People don't want to be 'sold' something only to find out later that there were either strings attached or they didn't get all the facts. There are myths and rumors that date way back, and people deserve to know today's truth before they make a significant life-changing decision. They don't want a sales pitch. They want truthful information from people they can trust in order to consider their options. That's exactly what we're sharing in this series of educational expert seminars," McCants asserts.

There is no costto attend for those age 55+, their families, and caregivers. Registration for professionals is $25. Reservations can be made by emailing admin@cid5280.com or by calling 303.332.7515. Space is limited, and pre-registration is required.
