If You Have the Opportunity...

go! We did. It was unforgettable, "An Evening with Garrison Keillor."

Garrison came to the Flynn Theater for a one person performance: 100 minutes of nonstop entertainment, both poignant and roll-on-the-floor-laugh-out-loud.

Storytelling, mostly, is a lost art. No one has perfected it quite like Garrison. The characters and scenes he describes are believable as well as memorable. They evoke recollections of people we may have known, or could've known. He describes a traditional culture that's about as down-to-earth as one can imagine.

I won't forget the Lutheran ministers on the pontoon boat and the bowling ball with ashes. I won't forget situations getting out of control because sometimes that can happen to me ~ I can identify. This was funny stuff. Garrison reminds his audience to keep things in perspective and to laugh more often.

Best of all, we saw a storytelling genius. Delightful performance!
