50 YEARS OF A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION

with Garrison Keillor and Special Guests HEATHER MASSE, CHRISTINE DIGIALLONARDO, our Radio actors, SUE SCOTT,  TIM RUSSELL & FRED NEWMAN and RICHARD DWORSKY, RICHARD KRIEHN, CHRIS SIEBOLD, and LARRY KOHUT

THE PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION 50TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW is a two-hour performance celebrating the half-century milestone of Garrison Keillor’s one-of-a-kind radio broadcast, which first hit the airways in July of 1974.

Expect a look back at the show’s origins in Minnesota and a sampling of Keillor’s droll stand-up on the beauty of being 83. Comedy sketches might include favorites like “The Lives of the Cowboys,” “Duane’s Mom,” or a word or two from the American Duct Tape Council, Powdermilk Biscuits, or the Catchup Advisory Board. The Royal Academy of Actors (with sound-effects wizard Fred Newman) will be there, along with music director/keyboardist Richard Dworsky leading the band. Count on songs, jokes, the grand audience sing-along intermission, and of course, the latest News from Lake Wobegon (where the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average).
