'A Prairie Home Companion' is a fictionalized account of Garrison Keillor's award-winning show, which currently runs on more than 558 public radio stations. The film follows the show's cast of characters preparing for the final live broadcast on the eve of being shut down after 30 years. The Johnson Sisters, Yolanda (Meryl Streep) and Rhonda (Lily Tomlin), are an aging country duet who've survived the country-fair circuit.
