Due to unforeseen circumstances, Garrison Keillor will not be able to join us for the premiere screening of the new documentary about him for American Masters, The Man on the Radio in the Red Shoes.  
 
Following the screening, Filmmaker Peter Rosen, Sound Effects Performer Fred Newman and Susan Lacy, Executive Producer for American Masters, will discuss the film with Paley Center President and CEO Pat Mitchell and take your questions.

America’s foremost humorist and commentator, Garrison Keillor, is a public man who remains an enigma to many. Peter Rosen’s revealing documentary goes behind the scenes of America’s most popular radio show, A Prairie Home Companion, and inside the imagination of the man who created it. In this intimate portrait of our “everyman philosopher,” we begin to understand the man whose stories reflect the American tradition so well.
