Mayor Alice, Father Wilmer, Pastor Liz, the Bunsens and Krebsbachs, formerly taciturn elders, burst into political rants, inappropriate confessions, and rhapsodic proclamations, while their teenagers watch in amazement. Meanwhile, a wealthy outsider...

This is the live recording of the show that played to sold-out theaters across the country. As Philip Brunelle leads the Minnesota Orchestra, Garrison Keillor does what he does best: talks, tells stories, and ponders the experience of being Lutheran.
