Loyal fans and those new to his audience will be entertained by Garrison Keillor’s quintessential humor, music, poetry, and anecdotes, delivered in his classic baritone voice. The thread that runs throughout the evening is the beauty of growing old. Garrison has found graceful acceptance and genuine joy in life’s sunset, bringing celebration to the inevitable journey.
“Life is unjust and this is what makes it so beautiful. Every day is a gift. Be brave and take hold of it.”
With cheerfulness and wit, the natural storyteller reflects on decades of life and art. The familiar, decent characters of Lake Wobegon are woven into the evening, along with a limerick or two and communal singalongs to lift the spirits.
“We are the last generation who knows all the words,” says Keillor. “When we’re gone, they’ll disappear.”
Joined by his longtime musical director, Richard Dworsky, this promises to be a warm, thoughtful, and thoroughly enjoyable evening.
