What to Expect for Alton Little Theater's 90th Season
ALTON - Alton Little Theater’s 90th season is off to an exciting start as the theater prepares for several productions in the coming months. “I love to go to St. Louis, but I know that families may never get to see a first-class production in St. Louis. So we want to give them some exposure here,” said Lee Cox, the theater’s executive director and business manager. “We’re a real, legitimate theater, so they’re getting to see a quality show. There’s not a bad seat in the house.” To mark the end of summer, the theater is hosting Circus Kaput at 7 p.m. on Aug. 12. This touring circus act aims to give families a fun night before school starts. Tickets are $20 and include refreshments. “ a little magic, a lot of comedy and tricks and getting kids up on stage and letting them be part of the magic,” Cox said. “And I just love watching their faces when they see things and ‘How did he do that?’”

Oversight Agency Says DHS Needs To Stop Screwing Around And Accurately Track Use Of Force By Officers
There are no incentives in place to encourage accurate reporting of force deployment by law enforcement agencies. Tracking use of force means agencies are basically generating evidence for civil rights lawsuits. That’s why force reporting is, at best, inconsistent. At its worst, it’s simply dishonest. The lack of solid deterrents means agencies simply won’t generate […]
