An Evening With Garrison Keillorgarrison-keillor.jpg (13174 bytes)

Spend an evening with America’s foremost storyteller, humorist, and homespun sage. For the last 25 years, Garrison Keillor has delighted millions of people with his perennially popular radio show, “A Prairie Home Companion,” an en-gaging mix of songs, skits, and the latest news from Lake Wobegon. He has also authored 12 books and starred — with Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, and Lily Tomlin — in a recent movie version of “A Prairie Home Companion.”

This show gives you Garrison straight up — no supporting cast, no band, no frills. Just Garrison himself, riffing extemporaneously on whatever strikes his fancy and taking the audience on a delightful and insightful ride. Don’t miss this chance to get up close and personal with a living legend!

peter-pan.jpg (59759 bytes)Peter Pan

The magic of Peter Pan has enchanted readers since J.M. Barrie first penned the tale in 1904. The Broadway musical is the most delightful and enduring version of Barrie’s beloved story, taking its audience off to Neverland with just the right mix of song and dance, whimsy, poignancy, and pixie dust.

Featuring all the marvelous characters you remember: irrepressible Peter, mischievous Tinker Bell, dastardly Captain Hook, feisty Indian princess Tiger Lily, the rambunctious Lost Boys, and the Darling children, Wendy, John, and Michael, whose alliance with Peter begins the adventure. If you believe in fairies — and in the magic of theater — be sure to catch this classic musical!
