About the venue: The Fitzgerald Theater was purchased in 1981 to provide a home base for A Prairie Home Companion. The theater was built in 1910 as a Shubert vaudeville house and in 1933 was renamed the World Theater to reflect its international film programming. As the 100th birthday of F. Scott Fitzgerald approached, Garrison Keillor led an effort to commemorate Fitzgerald's life which included renaming the theater in his honor in 1994. Visit the Fitzgerald Theater Web site
This August, a coast-to-coast concert tour takes on the everlasting theme of romantic love. Join host Garrison Keillor, Nickel Creek's Sara Watkins, the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, and sound-effects man Fred Newman for tender duets and ballads, poetry, and stories of passion and marriage.

Motherhood: A Radio Collection
A Prairie Home Companion celebrates that one person who manages to make you feel that you're special and that you aren't living up to your potential — all in the same sentence. Sketches, songs, and stories from Garrison and the regular cast cover the gamut of all that goes into and comes out of motherhood. Over 2 Hours on 2 CDs.
