As we mentioned here earlier, Garrison Keillor had Debra Monk & Rob Fisher on stage for the latest A Prairie Home Companion, where they discussed the upcoming Lyrics & Lyricists™ next weekend—which Monk and Fisher will be performing in.
Well...David Garrison, writer & stage director for next weeks L&L, just stopped by the offices at 92nd Street Y to check on a few things, and he has informed us that Fisher, Monk and himself have been invited back to tomorrow’s A Prairie Home Companion!
This is really so meta, as Garrison himself has read here at 92Y several times.
A Prairie Home Companion will be recorded in front of an audience at Town Hall this Saturday at 6pm. WNYC broadcasts it live, check their schedule here (PDF).
Tickets to Lyrics & Lyricists™—Poisoning Pigeons in the Park: The Art of the Satiric Comedy Song for May 8, 9 and 10 can be purchased here.
