A program guide for members of Prairie Public Broadcasting May 2013
Public television is breathing new life into the traditional civics lesson. Peter Sagal is traveling across the country on a Harley Davidson to find out where the U.S. Constitution lives, how it works and how it doesn’t, how it unites us as a nation, and how it has nearly torn us apart. Sagal— the humerous host of public radio’s Wait, Wait … Don’t Tell Me!— investigates some of today’s major constitutional debates and talks with ordinary citizens and leading constitutional experts about what the Constitution actually says and what it means, the dramatic historical events and crises that have defined it, and why all this matters.
Tune in for the four-part television series
Constitution USA with Peter Sagal on Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m. (CT) beginning May 7.

Look for two new Great Performances at the Met in May! Tune in Sunday, May 5, at 1:30 p.m. (CT) to be intrigued by Verdi’s classic drama of political conspiracy and thwarted romance, Un Ballo in Maschera. The opera is staged by acclaimed opera director David Alden, and leading Met stars Marcelo Álvarez, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, and Sondra Radvanovsky take on the central roles in the opera’s love triangle. Then, look for Rigoletto on Sunday, May 19 at 1:30 p.m. (CT). The new staging sets the opera’s tragic events in the glitzy setting of the Las Vegas strip circa 1960. Michele Mariotti conducts his first company performances of this Verdi masterwork, which features one of the most famous arias in all of opera, “La donna è mobile.”

May 30 The Blind Banker This killer can seemingly walk through walls. Sherlock and John follow the trail to London’s Chinatown, where an ancient Chinese puzzle, an antiquities curator on the run, and a mysterious book hold the solution to the murders. June 6 The Great Game A twenty-year-old murder, a blood-soaked car, a lost painting worth millions of dollars—it’s just the kind of adventure our hero relishes, but an evil genius is playing a deadly game.
Many Prairie Public local television productions are funded in part by the following: Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund with money from the voters on November 4, 2008, North Dakota Council on the Arts, North Dakota Humanities Council, and by the members of Prairie Public. Thank you!
