By Adam Hetrick
23 Dec 2008

The latest broadcast of NPR's "A Prairie Home Companion" will feature theatre composer Ricky Ian Gordon on Dec. 27.

Gordon, the composer of The Grapes of Wrath, My Life With Albertine and Dream True, will perform on the final show of the year from New York's Town Hall, entitled "Hot Jazz Biscuits."

The popular radio series, written and hosted by Garrison Keillor, started production in 1974. Live every Saturday night from 5-7 PM (Central Time), "A Prairie Home Companion" features comedy sketches, music, and Garrison Keillor's signature monologue, "The News from Lake Wobegon."

"A Prairie Home Companion" airs in the New York metropolitan area on 93.9 WNYC. For further information visit PrairieHomeCompanion.

Tickets for the live Town Hall taping of "Prairie Home Companion" are available by phoning (212) 307-4100, or by visiting Ticketmaster.

Town Hall is located at 123 West 43rd Street in Manhattan.
