Like the Monkees never said but certainly could have, there’s no need to settle for just having a band, when you can have a band with its own TV show.

On Wednesday, Dec. 13 at Little Theatre 1, the members of Watkins and the Rapiers will channel our inner Monkee by including as part of our concert a series of videos previewing some of the top shows on our imagined streaming service, Watkins TV. We’ll be joined by friends and Santa Claus to star in a series of trailers for a detective show, a situation comedy and several reality shows, which will be interspersed with our music throughout the evening. As always, each musical number will be supported by festive still and moving images on the theatre’s movie screen. 

Tickets are on sale here.

We’ll also perform without graphics support in the Little Theatre Café on Mondays during December, drawing from our repertoire of 100+ original Christmas songs, including five that are new for this season. And we may be popping up at a few other hot spots before the season’s over.

As they say in TV Land, stay tuned!
