Thanks for focusing on the history of the Forest Theater with the posting of the historical playbills, photos, etc. And thanks to the persons responsible for rescuing them from the archives and making them visible to the public. As they say, you cannot move ahead constructively if you do not know about what transpired in the past.
The Forest Theater really deserves to be treated better than it has by this council and previous councils. The city should have a plan for new restroom facilities for actors on stage and patrons attending events and other basic and more technologically advanced equipment like lighting and sound projection equipment. My fear is now the Centennial Celebration is over nothing will be done and the theater will continue to deteriorate by neglect-a real shame.
