The cast of A Prairie Home Companion

While Garrison Keillor continues to dodge questions about his future plans (on Midday last week he said "all I know about is yesterday, the day before that, and maybe the day before that"), he obviously has a good sense of how the next year is going to go.

A Prairie Home Companion has announced the line-up for its 38th season, which gets underway September 17 with the traditional street dance and meatloaf supper in front of the Fitzgerald Theater.
