Garrison Keillor returns to The Fitzgerald Theater to celebrate his 84th Birthday on August 15. Joining him will be his longtime friends Maria Jette, Lynn Peterson, Rich Dworsky, Richard Kriehn, and Pat Donohue.
If a man can’t do as he wishes for his 84th, then what’s the benefit of longevity? The old Companion wants to be accompanied by Rich Dworsky, the Kid Who Got To Take Piano. An evening of favorite duets, loose talk on sensitive topics, advice (Live In The Moment), and ending with a gorgeous choral recital by the audience. No cake, no gifts. Life is the gift.
