Garrison Keillor performance postponed

Due to medical reasons, Garrison Keillor’s performance at the University of Illinois Springfield – Sangamon Auditorium on Monday, September 21, 2009 has been postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date in the 2009-2010 season. The rescheduled performance will be announced as soon as open dates can be identified.

Keillor’s doctors have instructed him not to fly in the coming weeks due to medication he is taking following a recent minor stroke. The performance at Sangamon Auditorium is one of several September dates across the country that is being postponed due to doctors’ orders.
