'A Prairie Home Companion' makes first return to St. Paul since show ended

• Longtime members of the show Sue Scott, Rich Dworsky Tim Russell and Fred Newman will perform.

Catch up fast: The Fitz was home to the show from the 1970s until Keillor stepped away from the mic in 2016 and handed the reins over to Chris Thile, who rebranded it as "Live From Here" for a four-year run.

• Minnesota Public Radio fired Keillor in 2017 over allegations by a female colleague of inappropriate behavior.
• Keillor, 81, has denied those allegations and said the relationship was mutual.

Of note: MPR sold the Fitz in 2018 to First Avenue Productions, which is promoting the anniversary show.
