ON GOLDEN POND By Ernest Thompson Feb. 17 – Mar. 5, 2023 | Previews Feb. 14 – 16 In the Historic Arcade Theatre This modern American classic tells the love story of Norman and Ethel Thayer, who return every summer to the serene comfort of their New England lake house. Celebrating 48 years of marriage, the irascible Norman and kind-hearted Ethel settle in for what they imagine is going to be a peaceful summer. However, when their estranged daughter unexpectedly leaves the Thayers with her fiancée’s teen-aged son, their quiet lives are turned upside down. Through moments both moving and humorous, the summer becomes one of new relationships and reconciled differences. A hopeful, uplifting, and tender story about family and the power of love. “ON GOLDEN POND is a work of rare simplicity and beauty!” —NY Daily News
