Where: Baton Rouge Gallery, 1442 City Park, Baton Rouge

Age limit: All ages

Categories: Family, Other

Description: Join WRKF for a FREE outdoor movie at the Baton Rouge Gallery in the charming ambiance of City Park on Friday, August 3rd at 8:00pm. WRKF will be showing the movie adaptation of its Saturday/Sunday radio program A Prairie Home Companion. Food and drinks will be provided by Raising Canes. This event is FREE and open to the public, but donations are always welcome!

Director Robert Altman and writer Garrison Keillor join forces with an all-star cast to create a comic backstage fable about a fictitious radio variety show that has managed to survive in the age of television.

Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin star as the Johnson Sisters and Lindsay Lohan plays Meryl's daughter, Lola. Kevin Kline is Guy Noir, and Woody Harrelson and John C. Reilly are Dusty and Lefty. Add Virginia Madsen as an angel, Tommy Lee Jones as the Axeman and Keillor in the role of hangdog emcee, and you have a playful story set on a rainy Saturday night in St. Paul, Minnesota, where fans file into the Fitzgerald Theater to see "A Prairie Home Companion," a staple of radio station WLT, not knowing that WLT has been sold to a Texas conglomerate and that tonight's show will be the last.
