Prairie Home on the Big Screen: Encore Presentation
If you missed Thursday's stellar A Prairie Home Companion Live in HD performance, there's still a chance to see it in theaters. An encore performance of A Prairie Home Companion from the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota, will be beamed in high-definition exclusively to 500+ movie theaters across the U.S. and Canada. With special guests Elvis Costello, Robin and Linda Williams, Jearlyn & Jevetta Steele, and Heather Masse.
Minnesota author, illustrator, and cartoonist Chris Monroe inked a short comic strip with Garrison Keillor. The comic reveals a few tricks of GK's writing style... or does it?

Stories of a Wobegon romance far from home, all delivered with Garrison Keillor's trademark humor.
