Marsha Cann — actress, activist, poet and educator — dies at 72 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a familiar saying: to know them is to love them. In Marsha Cann’s case, it meant something deeper. To know her was to know that she loved you. Marsha Marie House Cann — a poet, actress, educator, activist and a woman who made everyone she encountered feel seen — died Wednesday, September 9, after a series of health setbacks. She was 72. Born July 21, 1954, in St. Louis, she was the youngest of Ural and Jessie House’s four children. Her academic gifts showed early, but it was the arts tha
Talent lifts Black Rep’s ‘The Color Purple’ despite missteps (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The St. Louis Black Repertory Company opened its milestone 50th anniversary season with a production its audiences have never seen from them. The Color Purple premiered on a Black Rep stage on September 7 and continues through September 27 at Washington University’s Edison Theatre.

After yelling “run for it” nine times to mark the race’s ninth year, they took off. They came from all walks of life, all age groups and all parts of the region to North St. Louis for a 5K and festival that draws people to a community that has seen decades of divestment. Months before last year’s race, the tornad
Raceway to Runway honors NASCAR pioneer during Enjoy Illinois 300 weekend (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When some of St. Louis’ most fashionable tastemakers gathered Friday night as part of the Raceway to Runway Enjoy Illinois 300 kickoff festivities, they were doing more than getting an exclusive preview — and opportunity to purchase — items from Oscar de la Renta’s Pre‑Spring 2027 collection. Each step down the runway poured into the legacy of the first African American driver and team owner to compete — and win — across NASCAR’s top divisions. “We are proud to be part of this incredible weekend
