Would you like to hear stories about the best, the worst, and the silliest of everyday living in Alaska?
Coming to you Sunday, November 27, at 2pm, from the Willow Community Center at Mile 69 on the Parks, the 2022 Willow Episode of The Alaska Home Companion—A Frontier Variety Show!
The Alaska Home Companion—A Frontier Variety Show! is the Valley Arts Alliance rendition of a live radio broadcast from the golden age of radio, with skits, and music, similar to the popular Prairie Home Companion radio show on NPR.
For those of you who haven’t seen or heard one of our episodes, The Alaska Home Companion—A Frontier Variety Show! features interesting stories by Alaskans about the best, the worst, and the silliest of everyday living in Alaska. In previous episodes, we heard from The Roving Reporter, Lucy and Desi in the Butte, and Guy d’North, as well as news from Lake Willowa, and Mukluk Radio.
The 2022 season is our ninth year producing The Alaska Home Companion—A Frontier Variety Show! and we will continue with new music and skits, occasional impersonations of local celebrities, and will be occasionally broadcast live by Radio Free Palmer on 89.5 FM.
So mark your calendar! The Willow episode of the Valley Arts Alliance Alaska Home Companion—A Frontier Variety Show! will be broadcast live at 2pm Sunday, November 27, 2022, at the Willow Community Center at Mile 69 on the Parks.
Thanks to the sponsorship of the Willow Library, this performance is FREE.
