They're one of 1,144 not-for-profit organizations, located in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and each of the five U.S. territories, that will get a total of more than $84 million in new awards.

* The St. Louis Cabaret Conference announced that they'll be holding their annual event in July online via Zoom this year. While the format and pricing have changed, the conference still will feature the same lineup of instructors previously announced, including Faith Prince, Jeff Harnar, Natalie Douglas and Christine Andreas.
