About this Event

JUST KEEP WATCHING: A Concert Cabaret features new and revised music from the show formerly known as Everybody’s Eyes are on The First. Enjoy 10 new songs and juicy plot updates inspired by a staged reading with Fertile Ground (‘25) and music/movement residency with Many Hat's Collaboration's "The Hatchery" (‘25). The showcase will be followed by a Q&A with composer Naama Friedman and bookwriter Teague Shattuck.

Starring Theo McGrath, Negasi Brown, Cuin Moore, Patti Westby & Jeremy Southard. MC'd by creators Teague Shattuck & Naama Friedman.

Synopsis:
“We’ll start a culture war then be its defender, ‘cause there’s nothing trendier than a transgender!”

JUST KEEP WATCHING is a five-person musical satire of the attention economy with a disarmingly heartfelt perspective. 1960s camp barges into contemporary musical theatre as aspiring transgender TV actor, Reggie, wrestles with public tokenization and personal upheaval while being marketed as “the first transgender infomercial host” by a bankrupt home shopping channel.

To achieve success, Reggie must make a choice: be an unknown actor or tragically public victim! Maybe, just maybe… “success” needs to be redefined.

Featuring songs such as “Smoke Like Daddy”, “There’s Nothing Trendier than a Transgender”, and “Hate Has No Place is Our Studio”.
