Following the verdict, Madison County Circuit Court Judge Janet Heflin ordered Ricky Deering, 62, of Bethalto, Illinois, to be remanded back to the custody of the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS).

In 1989, the groundbreaking musical “Some of my best friends are” hit the St Louis theater scene, becoming the first example of queer culture being openly depicted on a St. Louis stage. More than 30 years later, on October 20, much of the original cast reunited for a one-night reunion performance. The play’s writer and co-creator, Joan Lipkin, reflects on the legacy of the production, and what connections she draws between the play’s world of 1989 and today. We also listen to clips of the musical’s songs “Hoosier Boy” and “There’s a judge in my bedroom,” and we hear from Rodney Wilson, who attended the play as an audience member in 1989 and 2022.
