What better place to host a globally-acclaimed radio show than a globally-acclaimed arts center?
At least, we assume that's the logic behind the announcement that
A Prairie Home Companion will be broadcasting from Interlochen this summer.
The Garrison Keillor-led radio show will come to the
Interlochen Center for the Arts as part of its Summer Arts Festival, in conjunction with Interlochen Public Radio.
A Prairie Home Companion, which calls St. Paul, Minnesota home when not on the road, will be broadcasting from Kresge Auditorium at Interlochen at 5:45 p.m. on July 7.
"We're thrilled that Interlochen has once again been chosen for this honor," says Derek Kwan, the director of Interlochen Presents, which brings groups to perform at Interlochen. "This show is an international phenomenon that all other radio variety acts are judged against."
Tickets for the live broadcast will be available beginning April 20 and range from $50.50 to $33.50. They can be purchased online at the
Interlochen Box Office.
