2013 Mainstage Season

On Golden Pond

March 1 - March 24

By Ernest Thompson

You may remember the classic movie with Henry Fonda and Kathryn Hepburn - well, now's your chance to see it live on our stage. This is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who are returning to their summer home on Golden Pond for the forty-eighth year. He is a retired professor, nearing eighty, with heart palpitations and a failing memory-but still as tart-tongued, observant and eager for life as always. Ethel, ten years younger, delights in all the small things that have enriched and continue to enrich their long life together, and her character provides the perfect foil for Norman. The couple is visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fianc�, who then go off to Europe, leaving a teenage son behind for the summer. What follows is a touching and funny observance of life, family and the "golden years" that follow.

This play is suitable for all audiences.

What the Audience is saying:

“What a professional production! I could not have asked for more. I saw a cast that was not only talented, but they were well rehearsed. They sang beautifully, but most importantly, had an understanding of the genre. The show flowed, was funny, and took itself seriously enough to work. It was great!!�?
