About the Show

On Golden Pond

by Ernest Thompson

Director: Anne Robinson

Dates: November 23 to December 11, 2022

On Golden Pond is a gentle and heartwarming play about love, reconnection, and family. Come back to 'the pond' one more time and see this American classic.

Norman and Ethel, who have been married for 48 years, enjoy returning to their cottage on the lake's edge every summer. Their daughter, Chelsea, had some good memories of her childhood visits to the pond, too, but her life has taken many different paths since then. This year she returns to celebrate her father's birthday before making some special plans with her new partner, Bill. Bill's young son, Billy, stays with Norman and Ethel while Bill and Chelsea holiday in Europe.

The turbulent relationship between father and daughter, the generation gap between young and old, and the difficulties of a couple in the twilight years of a long marriage, all combine in a play that effortlessly illustrates the amusing, heartbreaking and human moments of which life is made.

Running time: Approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes including a 20 minute interval.
