Get Tickets For Second ‘Companion’ Show

Sat., April 11, 1998

Tickets for the second June 27 show of Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion” go on sale Monday at 10 a.m.

That day’s first show at the Spokane Opera House sold out in two hours.

The second show will start at 7 p.m., two hours after the first show ends. It will not be broadcast live, but will be recorded for airing at an unspecified future date.

This will be a different show from the first one, with different sketches, different songs and a different Lake Wobegon monologue by Keillor. One of the guest artists will be The Bullas, a family gospel bluegrass group from Northport, Wash. They will perform different songs in each show.

Tickets are $40, $30, and $20, available at G&B Select-a-Seat outlets or call (800) 325-SEAT. Students with valid ID can purchase tickets for $15 only at the Opera House and Arena box offices.
