Series Description
"Garrison Keillor's AMERICAN RADIO COMPANY is a radio variety series featuring original humorous sketches, special guest artists, and American music of all kinds. A highlight of each program is the monologue by host Garrison Keillor. The show is performed each week before a live theatre audience either in New York, or legitimate theatres across America. AMERICAN RADIO COMPANY 'road shows' typically feature local musical talent and comic skits written specifically for each locale, or topical material about current events. The series (28 original episodes will be produced during the course of the 1991-92 season) merits Peabody Award consideration because of the consistent quality of material week after week, and the wide range of music, comedy, and guest artists featured. Three broadcasts are enclosed for your consideration: A program from the Bronco Bowl in Dallas featuring fiddling legend Johnny Gimble, plus young singing sensations, The Dixie Chicks. This program, in addition to Texas swing music, also contains a segment about Russian composer Dmitri Tiompkin, who wrote for westerns. A 'Lonesome Radio Theatre' segment spins the tale of a young boy raised by wolves who finds his way to Texas. A program from Symphony Space in Manhattan featuring Vince Giordano playing classic American jazz, the Doky Brothers, a reworking of the 'City Mouse/Country Mouse' fairytale, and Bob Elliot as a gangster. The final tape is our Christmas broadcast from the Flynn Theatre in Burlington, Vermont, with guests Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, Robin and Linda Williams, and Maureen McGovern. The show fairly bursts with beautiful Christmas music, last minute shopping tips from Santa himself, and the American Radio Company's own Christmas pageant."--1991 Peabody Awards entry form.
