On Golden Pond

Aug 22 - Sept 2, 2006

 
 

Meet retired New England professor Norman Thayer and his spirited wife Ethel as they spend one final summer at their family's lakeside cottage in Maine. En route to a European honeymoon, the couple's estranged daughter Chelsea arrives to leave behind her fiancé's troubled young son. Colliding generations soon forge common ground, but when Chelsea returns to discover Norman playing the father she never had, years of bitter memories and resentment rise to the surface. An intimate family drama laced with humor and heart, On Golden Pond explores growing up, growing old and growing closer.

This stunning new Broadway production of Academy Award winner Ernest Thompson's timeless family drama received the
Tony Award® nomination in 2005 for Best Play Revival.
