Turtle Creek Chorale invites you to A Not So Silent Night
The Turtle Creek Chorale’s annual holiday concert is always a mixture of the sacred and the profane, from a moving arrangement of “Silent Night” (a staple) to campy and creative seasonal favorites about Santa Claus and naughty reindeer. This year’s show — with the name A Not So Silent Night — promises to be both fun and profound as always. (There’s a special children’s matinee version on Saturday as well.)
DEETS: City Performance Hall,
2520 Flora St.
Friday–Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Sunday at :30 p.m.

Meet sexy cast of ‘The Nearly Naked Nutcracker’
— a burlesque (and boylesque!) extravaganza
The Nutcracker is one of the chestnuts (ahem) of the holiday season. But there’s more to it than Tchaikovsky’s famed ballet — there’s a hip-hop version, a ballet-within-a-play comedy version … even the Texas Ballet Theater itself does a special Nutty Nutcracker (Dec. 16). But the raciest is probably The Nearly Naked Nutcracker, a burlesque show returning to the Design District for two nights. A mix of striptease, dance and comedy, it featuring pole-dancing soldiers, scantily-clad mouse kings and even Herr Drosselmeyer as master of ceremonies among the LGBT-friendly cast.
DEETS: Viva’s Lounge.
1350 Manufacturing St. 8 p.m.
$22.
