It's that time of year again! The Forst Inn celebrates its yearly "spooky" production by presenting one of the most iconic fan favorite musicals of all time, ROCKY HORROR SHOW! Hosts Thomas Moore and Kevin James Sievert sit down with several people from the cast to discuss what to expect when coming to see the latest production at The Forst Inn.

The Rocky Horror Show is a musical with music, lyrics and book by Richard O'Brien. A humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the 1930s through to the early 1960s, the musical tells the story of a newly engaged couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home of a mad transvestite scientist, Dr Frank-N-Furter, unveiling his new creation, Rocky, a sort of Frankenstein-style monster in the form of an artificially made, fully grown, physically perfect muscle man complete "with blond hair and a tan".

Join us for one of our three Rocky Horror Late Shows: October 21, 27, & 28
Pub Opens @ 8:30, Rocky Horror Karaoke in the pub at 9PM, Show starts at 10:00PM
Dress in your finest Rocky garb and enjoy the show the way it was meant to be experienced!

We're all getting our wishes in this episode of Forst Inn Features!

Host Thomas Moore spends some time with cast of Murder in Green Meadows, the latest show in the line up at The Forst Inn!

Together we discuss society's obsession with true crime and how shows of this caliber can be a challenge for actors.

Synopsis-

Thomas Devereaux, a successful architect and local contractor, and his beautiful wife, Joan, have just moved into their dream house in the quiet suburban town of Green Meadows when they are visited by their new neighbors. What follows is a diabolical plot that continues to thicken through the final showdown between a murderer and an aggrieved widow.

Receiving six Emmy Award nominations when presented on TV with the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago.
“A thoroughly satisfying thriller on all points. Four stars.” —WMAQ-TV.
“It spins a web of deception, sex, murder and mind games as two suburban couples discover their darker sides.” —Chicago Tribune.
“An archly manipulative psycho-thriller…a well-made murder mystery…it holds your attention like a leash.” —Windy City Times.

Hosts Thomas Moore (He/Him) and Kevin James Sievert (He/Him) take a trip down memory lane as they discuss the play DOG SEES GOD with Director Lisa Heili (She/Her) and cast members May Heili (They/Them) and Karter Mueller (He/Him) who play CB and Beethoven, respectively. Teen Angst, Identity, Sexuality, and the world of the Peanuts Gang collide in this episode, just in time for Pride Month. HAPPY PRIDE!

Synopsis: When CB’s dog dies from rabies, CB begins to question the existence of an afterlife. His best friend is too burnt out to provide any coherent speculation; his sister has gone goth; his ex-girlfriend has recently been institutionalized; and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any sort of solace. But a chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of this group’s bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the very limits. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that’s both haunting and hopeful. 

Directed by Lisa Heili.

"Dog Sees God is a rare item; a wicked satire that is so much more than just a tearing-down of cultural icons. It's rich with insight into our vulnerabilities, and forces us to think hard about what we owe to each other." - Broadway World
"a play that invites audiences to reflect on identity (the theme for their season), and reminds us how perspectives can change, for characters and for audiences, with time and understanding." - DC Theatre Scene
