Illinois State University's Drag Royalty student
organization will kick off our spooky season with "Cabaret in the
Woods". Following a screening of THE CABIN IN THE WOODS, members of Drag
Royalty will don costumes of classic monsters and horror icons in a performance
that is sure to be as fantastic as the film that precedes it. Come for the
monsters, stay for the queens.
When five college friends (Kristen Connolly,
Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams) arrive at a remote
forest cabin for a little vacation, little do they expect the horrors that
await them. One by one, the youths fall victim to backwoods zombies, but there
is another factor at play. Two scientists (Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford)
are manipulating the ghoulish goings-on, but even as the body count rises,
there is yet more at work than meets the eye.
