2021-04-15 20:00 - 21:30 | TX
In April, join us for a conversation with three writers who are just days away from the publication of their debut novels. We’ll discuss the journey so far – from knowing when you’re ready to submit, to querying literary agents, to the book deal & all of the preparation for publication – everything that makes up the unique and thrilling experience of publishing your debut novel.
This first part of a special two-part Third Thursday will cover the path to publication. In October, we’ll welcome our panelists back for a follow-up conversation to hear how those exciting days post-publication unfolded. Panelists include Alex McElroy, Stacey Swann, and Monica West.

Offline & Onstage - Midland Festival Ballet
2021-04-17 19:30 | TX
Midland Festival Ballet is pleased to present a night of new works and old favorites on Saturday, April 17th
at 7:30pm. Featuring music from Mozart, Vivaldi, and Queen, this uplifting production will show you a side of ballet you’ve never seen before. The production spans the genre from classical to contemporary and features new works by choreographers Maisha Morris, Pearl Wamsley, and Alyce Keaggy Brinkmann. The MFB Company will be accompanied by the Midland-Odessa Symphony & Chorale at the Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center.
Variations on a Theme of Argyle
Back by popular demand this lighthearted take on classical ballet by Rob Davidson features fast footwork, traditional music by Mozart, and surprises at every turn. Hold onto your socks!
Still You
In a world full of images, how do we picture ourselves? Still You, is a piece that shares the individual’s journey in the midst of a collective walk. To speak what needs to be heard. To dance what is felt. To give what only you can, and believe it is enough.
Baroque Lucidity
Bringing the glorious harmonic melodies of Antonio Vivaldi to life, this ballet is a celebration of the three movements of Summer from his Four Seasons composition. Through lively classical corps de ballet formations and innovative solo work, this ballet is a flamboyant escape for a time when our world needs much jubilation!
Keep Yourself Alive
COVID-19 quarantines dramatically changed day-to-day life for people all over the world. It also changed the way Pearl Wamsley heard some of her favorite songs, inspiring her to creatively process her pandemic experience. Keep Yourself Alive is a piece full of memory infused with the Pearl-style humor and hope we’ve come to know through her work.
This performance is underwritten by: the FMH Foundation
Additional support comes from the Arts Council of Midland, Odessa Arts, Rea Charitable Trust, and Texas Commission on the Arts. Additionally, this project is sponsored in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Beethoven and Blue Jeans - Midland High School Orchestra
2021-04-24 19:30 - 21:30 | TX
The idea is the brainchild of the Midland High Head Orchestra Director, Nikesha Hailey-Hicks who recalled an event in 2001 she attended where the musicians all wore blue jeans and played the music of Beethoven.
By melding classical music with fun fiddle tunes, students in denim, and a good ol’ Bar B-Q meal Beethoven and Blue Jeans has become a tradition for the Midland High School Orchestra.
Beethoven and Blue Jeans is a community event to show gratitude for all the support that the orchestra continues to receive year after year.
