An Evening with Keillor and Company

Garrison Keillor’s celebrated radio broadcast, A Prairie Home Companion, ran for forty years. He wrote the comedy sketches and more, and he invented a “little town that time forgot and the decades could not improve.” These days, his shows are packed with humor and song, plus the audience-favorite News from Lake Wobegon. 
This new show, Keillor & Company, is an evening of stand-up, storytelling, audience song, and poetry starring Garrison Keillor and featuring pianist Dan Chouinard, guitarist Dean Magraw and vocalist Prudence Johnson.
There are sung sonnets, limericks and musical jokes, and the thread that runs
through it is the beauty of growing old. Despite the inconvenience, old age brings
the contentment of less is more. There is the News from Lake Wobegon, a town booming with new entrepreneurs, makers of artisanal firewood and gourmet meatloaf, breeders of composting worms, and dogs trained to do childcare. But some things endure, such as the formation of the Living Flag on Main Street. And an a cappella sing-along with the audience singing from memory an
odd medley of patriotic songs, pop standards, hymns, and ending with the national anthem.
