Will Fowlkes in "On Golden Pond" in April
|
CANTON, GA (April 6, 2004) -
For Norman and Ethel Thayer, this summer On Golden Pond is filled with conflict and resolution.
When their daughter Chelsea arrives with her new boyfriend, Bill, the family is forced to renew the
bonds of love and overcome the generational friction that has existed for years. Norman must find
his way through his anger and fear of growing old, while Chelsea struggles to rebuild their
relationship. Ethel's consistent support of her "knight in shining armor" is inspirational in its
simplicity. This is a play to ponder and always keep in your heart.
"On Golden Pond," the critically acclaimed Broadway production, was adapted as a motion picture and
nominated for nine Academy Awards. "On Golden Pond" is a visit with Norman and Ethel Thayer during
their 44th year at Golden Pond. Sharing the summer with their daughter Chelsea's boyfriend's son, we
experience the layers or emotion and love that make up the stories of a family.
Norman a crusty retired professor, is nearing eighty and has a playful and feisty attitude. Ethel,
ten years his junior and his perfect foil, delights in the small things that enrich their long life
together. Chelsea suffers from the pain of a father and daughter who love each other but have never
figured out how to tell one another. And, her boyfriend, Bill Ray, brings his son Billy who
introduces the freshness of youth into the house.
"On Golden Pond" is the touching, funny and perceptive story of a family and a couple facing the
twilight of their years together.
This years production stars Bill Mann, Barbara McFann, Sherri Taylor, Jim Adams, Will Fowlkes and
Michael Gold.
The show runs from April 15th - May 2nd, 2004, at the historic Canton Theatre at 171 East Main
Street, Canton, GA. The running time (with intermission) is a little over two hours,
beginning at 8PM on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening performances and at 3PM for Sunday matinees.
