A little Prairie Home Companion in Houston
He has one of the most distinctive voices on radio, and after the success of last year’s movie A Prairie Home Companion, his voice and work is now known by more than just the NPR crowd. Author, humorist, satirist, and occasional musician Garrison Keillor brings his Lake Wobegon Days to the Wortham Center tonight.
Keillor created the radio show A Prairie Home Companion in 1974. The show, which is recorded in front of a live audience and still airs today, is set in a fictional town (Lake Wobegon) in Minnesota. It’s nostalgia and Americana at its best. He also host the daily Writer’s Almanac, which can be heard every morning on KUHF.
The Progressive Forum will host Garrison Keillor’s appearance tonight, where he’ll speak about Lake Wobegon and other topics dear to his heart. There will be a book signing by Keillor after the event.
What: Garrison Keillor, “Lake Wobegon Days”
When: 7:30 p.m.
Where: Wortham Center, Brown Auditorium, 501 Texas St.
