Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None is the ultimate murder mystery—a tense, edge-of-your-seat thriller that has captivated audiences for generations. Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island under mysterious circumstances, each lured by a different pretense. As the guests settle in, a chilling voice accuses each of them of a terrible crime. When the first death occurs, panic sets in. Cut off from the mainland with no way to escape, the guests realize the killer must be one of them.
As fear and suspicion mount, alliances fracture, secrets surface, and the body count rises. One by one, the guests are picked off—each death eerily mirroring the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme hanging in each room. Who is orchestrating this deadly game, and why? And Then There Were None is a masterclass in suspense and psychological drama, delivering shocking twists and an unforgettable finale that will leave audiences breathless.

Emilee E. Carroll (Vera Claythorne): Step into the world of mystery, suspense, even a little bit of horror, as we journey through the mind of Agatha Christie. Emilee is thrilled to breathe life (for now?) into the role of Vera. Previous roles at the Forst Inn include Trisha in “5 Women Wearing the Same Dress”, Frau Blucher in “Young Frankenstein”, Annie Wilkes in “Misery”, and M’Lynn Eatenton in “Steel Magnolias”. Clearly, Emilee enjoys a good dark play/musical, as she will be onstage again in next month’s production of “Sweeney Todd”.
|
Emilee would like to thank her family, her incredible second family and friends at the Forst Inn and the love of her life, Brandon, for supporting her passion for the stage. As you watch tonight’s performance, remember how sweet Miss Claythorne is, and how Vera truly cares for her other house guests…or does she?

Pete Dignan (Justice Lawrence Wargrave) extends his thanks to the Forst and the wonderful cast and crew. You are all invited to a picnic on my Island off the coast of Kewaunee, I'll supply the revolver and the cyanide.

Lisa Heili (Director) is an international person of mystery.
|
Robert Heili (General MacKensie) is a domestic man of mystery. That is to say all his unexplainables occur inside our borders… except that once in the Bahamas. But he can’t talk about that.
He has appeared in occasional shows by Capital Off-Broadway and The Masquers but his favorite role was Uncle Fester in The Addams Family. This is his first show at the fabulous Forst Inn and also his first since retiring earlier this year |
|
Jonathan Medendorp (Captain Lombard) is pleased to return to the Forst Inn stage for this classic murder mystery. He has appeared on stage most recently in the summer one act festival and Broken Hill and played the bumbling butler Perkins in the Play That Goes Wrong.Jonathan is excited and terrified to stretch his acting much farther than he has had an opportunity in years and praise the audience is forgiveness and indulgence in this regard. He is most excited to dig into the rich text and sub text that has character Lombard gives and is excited that you never quite know whether he is telling the whole truth or nothing but the truth at any given time.
|
Jonathan would like to extend his sincere thanks to his loving partner for their continued support and work in making this show possible.

Karter Mueller (Doctor Armstrong) is excited to bring another Doctor role to the Forst Inn stage. He has been involved in over 20 shows at the Forst, and other local theater companies both on and off stage. He is delighted to be a part of this mysterious, and dark show - and to share the stage with his fiance, and friends. Doctor Armstrong has been a puzzling, and odd character for Karter to portray, but he has enjoyed the challenge. He hopes that you sit back and watch as Armstrong slowly loses touch with reality and those around him. Enjoy the show!

Shannon Paige (Mr. Rogers) is thrilled to be part of another psychological thriller as it's one of her favorite genres. One of her highlights at the Inn was playing Joan in "Murder in Green Meadow". It's so exciting to hear the audience react to big reveals and shocking moments. You may have just recently seen her playing Madame Arcati in "Blithe Spirit", and being part of the ensemble in "Throwing Stones at the Sun". She hopes you enjoy all the suspense this show has to offer!

Asher Stokes (Anthony Marston/ Narracot) is back at it once again on the Forst stage. Ash had been involved in over 50 productions on and offstage, although his participation in a straight play such as this is a fairly rare occurrence. Ash has enjoyed the chance to expand his theatrical experience and knowledge, particularly in his work on accents and the portrayal of a pompous prick (which he would argue is NOT a real life character trait of his) He is grateful to have been able to share this experience with his fiancé (Karter) and friends! Asher would like to thank the Forst Inn community for providing a safe space for artists of all shapes and sizes. Here’s to it!

Alax Stylenson (Properties) is a graduate of the UWGB Theater and Dance who has spent his time post grad building props for theme parks, escape rooms, and shows. He enjoys working across theatrical departments with recent credits including Our Place (director), The Nerd (scenic) and Lost Girl (stage manager). Alax is excited to be returning to the Forst Inn this fall having previously worked on Dog Sees God (performance and props) and Into the Woods (scenic artist).

It is said that Samantha Thompson (Ethel Rogers) first discovered her love of the stage in the most unassuming of places: a high school auditorium. That spark endured into her early twenties, until life and responsibility conspired to dim the flame. Recently, however, Sam rekindled her passion, returning triumphantly as the Ghost of Christmas Present in A Krampus Carol. Since then, she has proved herself a force to be reckoned with, joining the St. John’s Players and also The Forst Inn. She now steps into the role of Mrs. Ethel Rogers, with every intention of pursuing many more characters yet to come.
|
Like any good mystery, Sam’s artistry lies not in the obvious, but in the subtle: a glance, a pause, a carefully measured silence. She delights in roles that conceal as much as they reveal, guiding audiences down twisting corridors before the truth is unveiled.Offstage, she remains charmingly elusive—the sort of presence who might vanish at evening’s end, leaving only questions, and perhaps a half-eaten pie in her wake.
|
Sue Voskamp (Emily Brent) is excited to make her Forst Inn stage debut as Miss Emily Brent: a self-righteous scary snob. In real life, Sue is delightful! Previously she’s been the stage manager and prop mistress for Broken Hill, a production in this summer’s one act festival. A big thank you to her family and friends who have supported her shows.
