BPAC Mainstage Series
Garrison Keillor Tonight
Friday, March 28, 2025
7:00 pm
Owens Auditorium
Garrison Keillor Tonight is an evening of stand-up, storytelling, audience song, and poetry. One man, one microphone. There are sung sonnets, limericks and musical jokes, and the thread that runs through it is the beauty of growing old.
​
Hear the news from Lake Wobegon, a town booming with new entrepreneurs, makers of artisanal firewood and gourmet meatloaf, breeders of composting worms, and dogs trained to do childcare. Many things endure, such as the formation of the living flag on Main Street, citizens in tight formation wearing red, white or blue caps, and Mr. Keillor among them, standing close to old neighbors. Join in and enjoy an a cappella sing-along with the audience.

BPAC Comedy Series
David Anthony
Comedy Hypnosis
Monday, May 5, 2025
7:00 pm
Owens Auditorium
Imagine the person that was sitting next to you just a few minutes ago is now up on stage and can’t remember their own name! Better yet, one of your friends is up on the stage claiming that their belly button was stolen. Then with a snap of David Anthony’s fingers they enter back into a hypnotic trance. Sounds entertaining huh? This is just the beginning of what to expect in the show.
No one is forced to volunteer. David will invite anyone who wants to get hypnotized to join him and fill the 15-20 chairs that are on stage. Then the fun begins! It is comedy like no other mainly because YOU and YOUR FRIENDS are the stars of the show!
