Bruce Bouchard, Director, announced today that satirist and nationally prominent radio personality, Garrison Keillor will be bringing his "Evening with Garrison Keillor - Tales From Lake Wobegone" to the Paramount Theatre, in a co-production with the Rutland Herald on Monday, February 2, 2009.
Bouchard commented, "There is no question that Garrison Keillor is an icon; a Mark Twain/Will Rogers of his day and his generation. To say that we are agitated with excitement and anticipation for this very special event would be something of an understatement. A number of corporate leaders and friends of the theatre (beginning with the Rutland Herald) pulled together to help us make this happen. It is clear that a person of Mr. Keillor's stature certainly raises the bar for The Paramount."
Lead Sponsor for the evening is Citizens Bank, followed by The Querrey Group, Kenlan, Schweibert, Facey & Goss, P.C.,And Robert and Robin Vechte. Radio Media Sponsor is Vermont Public Radio.
In an advance opportunity, tickets will go live Sunday, December 7-10, on the Paramount Theatre website, www.paramountlive.org. Any remaining seats will be available at the Paramount Theatre Box Office beginning December 11, at 11:00 AM.
