America's favorite storyteller Garrison Keillor will celebrate the quirks and idiosyncrasies of small-town America in an appearance at the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center on Sunday, October 13 at 8:00pm. Tickets are $100 - $150 and are available online at www.whbpac.org.
Award-winning author, storyteller, humorist, and radio personality Garrison Keillor's happy narratives about growing up in the Midwest, the people of Lake Wobegon, and late-life fatherhood, are all delivered with his signature class, charisma and wisdom. Known for his critically acclaimed radio show A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION and as a best-selling author, this Grammy-winning humorist is a true American treasure.
Garrison Keillor began his radio career as a freshman at the University of Minnesota. He went to work for Minnesota Public Radio in 1969, and on July 6, 1974, he hosted the first broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion in St. Paul. Over 3 million listeners on more than 450 public radio stations now hear the show each week.
Keillor is also the author of many books, including Lake Wobegon Days (1985); The Book of Guys (1993); The Old Man Who Loved Cheese (1996); Wobegon Boy (1997); Me: By Jimmy "Big Boy" Valente As Told to Garrison Keillor (1999); Love Me (2003); Homegrown Democrat (2004); Pontoon (2007); Liberty: A Lake Wobegon Novel (2008); and Life Among the Lutherans (2009).
