NPR aficionados were stunned last year to learn that veteran host Garrison Keillor was stepping down from his position at the helm of A Prairie Home Companion, the radio variety show he’d hosted in one form or another for about 40 years. The show will be taken over full-time by Chris Thile (the mandolinist known for his work with Nickel Creek and Punch Brothers) later in 2016, but Keillor will make one last stop in Milwaukee to record a live show this March.

4:45 p.m. March 5 at the Milwaukee Theatre. $35, $45, $65. milwaukeetheatre.com.
