WHRV presents An Evening with Garrison Keillor
The charming, witty, and always entertaining writer and humorist will take the stage for an intimate one night only engagement. Best known for his popular radio show, “A Prairie Home Companion,” Keillor, true to his radio form, can be expected to spit out some of the most hilarious anecdotes about growing up in the American Midwest, read several stories from his collections about Lake Wobegon, sing a couple of his favorite songs, and answer audience questions about his work. With his wonderful dry sense of humor, Keillor captivates audiences as he delivers his stories with class, charisma, and wisdom.
WHRV has a limited number of gold circle seating tickets available for purchase at $200 a pair and they’ll go fast! Proceeds from the evening benefit the programs and services of WHRV 89.5FM, which airs “A Prairie Home Companion” on Saturdays at 6 PM and Sundays at 10 AM.
