It recently opened in London. The "Traffic" appearance, called An Evening with Elaine Stritch, is described as a "casual conversation discussing her life in theatre and film." The show will be on March 17 at 7:30. Tickets are $50, $74 with dinner.

Keillor will take the stage on June 9 for An Evening of Ribaldry, his exploration of blue humor.

With "Lake Wobegone Days," he added successful novelist to his credits. Tickets are $35, $59 with dinner. For information, call (312) 335-1650.
