ATLANTA, here we come! A Prairie Home Companion 50th Anniversary Tour November 8th

THIS WILL BE THE 20TH CONCERT OF OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR

BUY TICKETS

THE PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION 50TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW is a 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 in his eighties. Comedy sketches might include favorites like “Lutheran Air,” “POEM,” or “Duane’s Mom,” or a word or two from the Catchup Advisory Board or Coffee. And perhaps a commercial for Powdermilk Biscuits on this subject: Cheerfulness Is a Choice. 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).
