Posted 12:30 a.m. Tues., 02.02.10 --State Rep. Walt Bivins, R-Oakville, is leading a bipartisan cadre of at least 20 legislators who'd like to see smoking banned from most public places by next year. In an announcement Monday, Bivins and co-sponsor Jill Schupp, D-Creve Coeur, say their aim is to create "uniform statewide smoke-free standards in bars and restaurants." But the bill, HB 1766, is generating lots of attention because it goes much further.

The St. Louis Beacon rang in 2012 with a concert performance of Gilbert & Sullivan's beloved operetta, "The Mikado," at the Sheldon Concert Hall, and the Higher Education Channel was on hand to record it. Here is a link to the complete perfomance, which we hope you'll enjoy.
The musical direction of "The Mikado" was by Amy Kaiser; Craig Terry was conductor-accompanist. All proceeds from ticket sales benefitted the Beacon.
