Midnight on the Tikitrocious Moonlight Encore! The school supports the terminally-ill girl to make her dream prom come true, but when her health rallies, resentment builds. Despite misgivings, it’s up to the mean girl to do what she does best in 1996’s “The Price of Dreams.”

2PM on the Baron Tikitrocious' Midday Matinee! In this 17th c. United Provinces drawing-room farce, a flower merchant's wife juggles her husband's contentment, her lover's passion, and her son's first awkward forays into romance. Revel in 1937's “Fortunes Fade & Love Blooms.”

Midnight on the Tikitrocious Moonlight Encore! He’s the only angry man on the jury. Why can’t the others follow the obvious case by the prosecution? Suborned bailiffs and tampered beverages might have something to do with it in 2005’s “Innocent Until Lunch.”

Midnight on the Tikitrocious Moonlight Encore! Celebrate the perseverance of man against outrageous fortune as jeweler Otto Frederick Rohwedder invents, then loses his prototype to fire, and rebuilds and perfects his bread slicing machine in 1963’s “The Best Invention Ever.”

Noon on Baron Tikitrocious' Weekend Tikipeats! When a Canadian Privy Council member is assassinated, RMCP “I” agent Neville Maine investigates a mysterious Mexican spirits mogul and his nefarious plan to invade Canada. Thrill to 1965's “the Tequila Imperative.”

Midnight on the Tikitrocious Moonlight Encore! A polished, bookish lad shows up in Nebraska Charms, and the ladies go crazy for the sensitive boy. The sawmill owner has to convince his daughter that the arrival is “Not an Eligible Cowboy (1937)” (until he suddenly is).

Christmas Music is an amorphous concept to begin with, but maybe we need Thanksgiving Music to transition us from Halloween into the holiday season gently.
