Live webcasts feature A Prairie Home Companion at the Fitzgerald Theater plus a variety of special events.

Live events produced by Minnesota Public Radio range from a regional book club and onstage performances to political debates and rural community forums. Many of these events take place at the Fitzgerald Theater, a historic theater owned by Minnesota Public Radio.
