This week on A Prairie Home Companion, we're broadcasting live from the Fitzgerald Theater in downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Also with us, singer Andra Suchy, Jearlyn and Jevetta Steele, the Royal Academy of Radio Actors: Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and our sound effects man Mr. Tom Keith, The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, plus all the latest News from Lake Wobegon.
