Description
Showcasing a talented local cast, musicians and other guests, Over the Back Fence is a Lanesboro institution that features a new theme and material each month with music, skits, jokes, comedy, poems, and more! Since 1994, lively host Damon Prestemon keeps the show rolling, managing the stage chaos of Back Fence cast members, sound effects, sponsor interviews, audience participation, spontaneous humor, and sing-alongs.
The show is held monthly on the 2nd Fridays of March-November.
