Information: Susan Hegger has come full circle. As the politics and issues editor of the St. Louis Beacon, she is excited to be involved in the online revolution in journalism. Susan started her journalism career in 1981 at another brash start-up, The Riverfront Times, where she eventually became the editor. In 1987, she moved to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch where she stayed for the next 20 years. During that time, she was an editorial writer covering international issues, local politics, regional development and women's and children's issues; the arts and entertainment editor; and finally the assistant managing editor for features overseeing the paper's entertainment, lifestyle and features sections. Susan graduated from Ursuline Academy and Washington University. A dedicated runner, she can be found most days on the path in Forest Park.

 













'The Road Show' improv

Brent Jones | St. Louis Beacon

This Saturday was the debut of a new show by The Improv Shop that will bring out of town improv teams to St. Louis to play for — and with — a local audience. The Road Show brought teams "Everybody Grok" and "Felt" from Chicago.

We talked to Eric Christensen, producer of the Road Show and member of local improv team "Ted Dangerous"; Katie Nunn, member of "Ted Dangerous" and improv coach; and Melanie Penn and Ranjan Khan, members of local teams "Melanj" and "Magic Ratio"; about the St. Louis improv scene and why it's important to welcome teams from other cities to perform here.
