A 90-minute, one-man show, improvised from memory
Mr. Keillor’s idea is simple and clear: no matter what vocational track a person pursues, the love of language is at the heart of a sound education and a crucial part of a good life. You don’t need to write a term paper on Chaucer’s The Miller’s Tale to find this; you can do math, graphic design, dance, marketing, etc., but your love of language, e.g. English, will make you happier and more effective.
To this end, Mr. Keillor will, without lecturing, improvise his way through poetry, stories, song, jumping into cowboy balladry, limericks, blues, a singalong of patriotic song and classic R&B, a sung medley of alternating love lyrics and jokes, Shakespeare, Dickinson, snatches of Mark Twain, Anne Frank, Frankie & Johnny, and Elvis.
