Garrison Keillor Tonight - Live at Cactus Theater!

Tuesday, January 21, 2025

Doors: 6:50 pm. • Showtime: 7:30 pm

Garrison Keillor Tonight is an evening of stand-up, storytelling, audience song,and poetry. One man, one microphone. There are sung sonnets, limericks andmusical jokes, and the thread that runs through it is the beauty of growing old.Despite the inconvenience, old age brings the contentment of LESS IS MORE.Your mistakes and big ambitions are behind you, nothing left to prove, and smallthings give you great pleasure because that’s what’s left. (“I was unhappy incollege because it was a requirement for an intellectual, but then I went into showbusiness and discovered that people won’t pay to be made unhappy, their kids willdo it for free.”)

There is the News from Lake Wobegon, a town booming with new entrepreneurs,makers of artisanal firewood and gourmet meatloaf, breeders of compostingworms, and dogs trained to do childcare. But some things endure, such as theformation of the Living Flag on Main Street, citizens in tight formation wearingred, white or blue caps, and Mr. Keillor among them, standing close to oldneighbors, Myrtle Krebsbach (“Truckstop”) and Julie Christensen (“Bruno, TheFishing Dog”) and Clint Bunsen. And an a cappella sing-along with the audiencesinging from memory an odd medley of patriotic songs, pop standards, hymns, andending with the national anthem.
