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.
