On Golden Pond - March 2015

The play is a classic American comedy/drama that's every bit as touching, warm, and witty today as when it debuted on Broadway in 1979.  Retired couple Ethel and Norman Thayer spend every summer at their home on Golden Pond. This year, their adult daughter visits, bringing along her boyfriend's 13-year-old son. The turbulent relationship between father and daughter, the generation gap between young and old, and the difficulties facing a couple in the twilight years of a long marriage, all combine to give this play a unique insight into the modern family.
