Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts Presents An Evening with Garrison Keillor, 2/2

Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts will present An Evening with Garrison Keillor on Thursday, Feb. 2, at Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix.

Minnesota-born and raised, Garrison Keillor is the living embodiment of the Midwestern spirit. Each week, he shares his steady thoughtfulness, old-fashioned values, traditional songs and dry humor through his legendary, critically acclaimed radio show, A Prairie Home Companion. Millions of listeners on more than 450 public radio stations now hear the show each week, and countless more discovered it through Robert Altman’s 2006 film adaptation, which starred Keillor, Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin and Lindsay Lohan.

Keillor is the author of numerous books, articles and essays, and earned a Grammy Award for his recording of Lake Wobegon Days. He has traveled throughout the country performing with leading orchestras, in one-man shows and on tour broadcasts of A Prairie Home Companion.

Joined by A Prairie Home Companion pianist and music director Rich Dworsky and singer-songwriter Heather Masse, Keillor will share stories about the American Midwest, the people of Lake Wobegon and more.
