Christmas Stream at 5:00 C.T. today! Do you remember those Saturday evenings when you'd reach for your radio dial at 5:00 p.m. to listen to A Prairie Home Companion? Perhaps you were cooking supper, or going out on a long drive, or maybe it was the holidays and your family was gathered around you.
Today we are proud to recreate that experience with a stream of Garrison's Prairie Home Christmas Show on our YouTube channel, beginning at 5:00 p.m. Central Time and available for at least 24 hours.
"A Prairie Home Christmas Show" has been on tour this season in Minneapolis, New York, San Francisco, and Atlanta. It has reunited the actors, musicians, and crew members of A Prairie Home Companion in their celebration of Christmas, humor, song, and togetherness.
This particular show was filmed at Town Hall in New York City this past Wednesday, December 18th. The show was a bit of a marathon, clocking in at 3.5 hours long including intermission, so it has been uploaded in two parts. Please note that the footage (shot from multiple angles) has not been edited because we wanted to get it to Prairie Home fans as quickly as possible. Thus, there are about 15 minutes of empty stage at the beginning of Part One that you may want to skip through!
From all of us at Prairie Home, we must say that it has been an immense pleasure to work on these shows again. We truly hope you will enjoy this video stream!
*Note: due to music rights issues, this video will only be available online for about 24 hours (give or take), so watch it while you can! After that, we hope to post shorter videos of specific scripts and songs.
A very merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!
