CRYSTAL FALLS - “News from Lake Wobegon” will be broadcast from Crystal Theatre’s stage Saturday, June 29. The broadcaster is none other than Garrison Keillor, the legendary American radio personality, humorist, storyteller, singer and author. Crystal Theatre announces the 2024 Legend event: Keillor & Company featuring Garrison Keillor, Prudence Johnson and Dan Chouinard.
Garrison Keillor’s celebrated radio broadcast A Prairie Home Companion ran for 40 years on National Public Radio. Keillor wrote the comedy sketches, made up silly commercial sponsors, and invented Lake Wobegon, a “little town that time forgot and the decades could not improve.”
His touring shows are packed with humor and song, plus the audience favorite “News from Lake Wobegon”. He has written dozens of books including ‘Serenity at 70’, and ‘Gaiety at 80’ (reflections on why you should keep on getting older).
“Get excited, it’s official!” says Kristin Underhill, Crystal Theatre’s managing director. “We have another wonderful Legend coming to town! Garrison Keillor and Company will be on our stage this summer! Keillor will be joined by soprano Prudence Johnson and pianist Dan Chouinard. Draw a big circle around June 29, and check out the whole slate of entertainers in our 2024 season on our website.”
Tickets for the Legend event, which requires reserved seating, are now available at thecrystaltheatre.org.
