On Golden Pond by Ernest Thompson

On Golden Pond is a heartwarming play that explores love, aging, and family bonds, all while shedding light on the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease. Set on a serene New England lake, it follows the Thayer couple, Norman and Ethel, as they navigate the challenges of growing old, including Norman’s battle with Alzheimer’s. Their lives take an unexpected turn when their daughter visits with her fiancé and his son, unraveling family tensions and sparking a journey of reconciliation. With humor and tenderness, this timeless play reminds us of the enduring power of love and the importance of forgiveness in the backdrop of a picturesque summer retreat, making it a touching and memorable theatrical experience. On Golden Pond was chosen to celebrate longtime Classic Theatre performers and founders and celebrate the continued impact of artists 65 years and beyond in our community.
