Description of Event: 

The Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago holds its annual "A Prairie State Companion" show at 8 p.m. Feb. 13, at the Second Saturday Coffeehouse, 7574 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie. The society is a fellowship organization that welcomes individuals seeking a compassionate philosophy for life regardless of spiritual belief or nonbelief.

 

 

This year’s show is being performed this year as a fundraiser for Brian Barnes, an Oak Park resident and member of the society who is battling leukemia. He has been a society member for 13 years.

A donation of $10 is being requested.

 

"A Prairie State Companion" show, performed by society members, is modeled after the Garrison Keillor-hosted radio variety program, "A Prairie Home Companion," which features music, stories and sketches, most full of satire.
