Garrison Keillor at The Sebastiani

Garrison Keillor did “A Prairie Home Companion” for forty years wrote fiction and comedy invented a town called Lake Wobegon where all the children are above average even though he himself grew up evangelical in a small separatist flock where all the children expected the imminent end of the world. He’s busy in retirement having written a memoir and a book of limericks and is at work on a musical and a Lake Wobegon screenplay and he continues to do “The Writers Almanac” sent out daily to Internet subscribers (free).

Garrison Keillor Tonight is an evening of stand-up storytelling audience song and poetry. One man one microphone. There are sung sonnets limericks and musical jokes and the thread that runs through it is the beauty of growing old.
