FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COME SING ALONG WITH GARRISON KEILLOR, MERYL STREEP, LINDSAY LOHAN AND THE REST OF THE CAST OF ROBERT ALTMAN’S A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION

NEW YORK, June 27, 2006 — Theater chains across the country are hosting “Sing Along” screenings of Robert Altman’s A Prairie Home Companion, where audience members receive a book containing lyrics from the songs in the film and are encouraged to sing along with the cast.

“When the film opened we noticed that people immediately responded to the music and would hum or sing right along with the film,” said Bob Berney, president of Picturehouse. “Since the film has such a communal feel to it, we decided that going into the holiday weekend, we should encourage the audience to interact with the film and one another.”

Currently, “Sing Along” screenings are taking place in more than one hundred theaters across the country.
