News from Lake Wobegan has arrived. Private eye
Guy Noir is at your door. Follow the sound of Garrison
Keillor’s downhome baritone to that illusory pastoral
paradise, because time — even in the town that time
forgot — is running out. When A Prairie Home Companion
“America the Beautiful Tour” stops at the Cuthbert
Amphitheater Aug. 27 (and the following night at the
Portland Zoo), it may be the last time Oregonians get to
see Keillor helm his mighty ship that has long soothed
the hearts and heads of America. After hosting the
radio show for the better part of three decades, Keillor
announced in June that he’s passing the torch to
mandolinist, and longtime friend of the show, Chris Thile,
in 2016. So grab a chair, a blanket, your loved ones and
find a spot on the edge of the prairie.
Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion
“American the Beautiful Tour” kicks off at 7:30pm
Thursday, Aug. 27, Cuthbert Amphitheater; $40-$60.
