Beacon Insurance's Digital Revolution - The Voice St. Lucia Beacon Insurance's Digital Revolution - The Voice St. Lucia Posted: 31 Aug 2019 11:34 AM PDT Share this story IN a world of constant technological advancement, where artificial intelligence, digital wallets and virtual offices have become commonplace, companies that wish to endure must move with this progress.

Longer than you think. Yes, Sam (Chris Ginesi) and Avery (Justin Howard) really are going to sweep every single row of seats in real time, and that's after the time it takes newbie Avery to learn how to hold a broom as if it's a broom and not a shovel or a pump. But roll with your impatience with Shotgun Players' "The Flick" for a few minutes. Annie Baker's sneak-attack play, the 2014 Pulitzer Prize winner, reveals those feelings as som
