Wishing it might be seen in those communities with a Public Radio station, yet no commercial movie theater or television. There's still a few out there. I swear on a stack of Mark Twains.
The future of modern technology has a number of bright horizons yet ahead.

Truly hoping this will be a fine success. We'll be cheering from our local performing arts center, (below the radio station), where we caught the early release of The Man on The Radio in the Red Shoes on 'big screen'.

And thanks for sharing this on PHC's Gather site!

No phone? :-)

One here... and after a twelve year absence, one there.
Cocoa outside the roadhouse so winter bundled kiddos could say 'hey' to Gram over the payphone, echos warmly still.

Fun kicking with you A.

Anyone going?!

(I have the opportunity to catch this weekend's show in San Francisco!)

I've seen the show live on two occasions--once at the old Medina Temple in Chicago (which no longer stands, unfortunately) and, last summer, outdoors at the Ravinia Festival.

It's a great show, and not to be missed, if you have the chance. It's the last of a genre, and Keillor is a storyteller nonpareil.

Did you catch it, Adrian?!

Dave, think you'll make the movie? We're trying to figure out how/if it fits into our schedule at home here.

I did get to go and had a wonderful time. The Sat Jan 16th show was packed with talent and an overflowing, sell-out, SRO crowd.

Having attended three, live, Keillor performances in the last year, feeling the enthusiasm generated from the stage and audiences, I'm sure this will be a fine success. PHC only continues to get better.

(Add, The Writer's Almanac, 77 Sonnets, and two very fun novels in a season plus weekly syndicated columns ... rather boggles the mind. Oh, I promised myself I'd not gush!)

This is a beautifully produced trailer.

Julia Schrenkler Jan 20, 2010, 12:09pm UTC

Glad to hear you had a good time :-)

Yes, Aniko and I met up, thanks to BART and Amtrak.

Julia, a question: will the Feb. 4th performance be heard ~via~ the regular radio connections as well? And, are there plans to distribute the live show as a DVD later?

As the date draws closer, the updates for this event sound the beginning of an expanded future for APHC. Very exciting!

I would love to check out APHC live one of these days. Love listening to it.

Glad to have read on A PHC's website that we'll also be able to catch the HD Cinecast, Thursday night, on the radio Sat.

Here's to a wonderful show!
