ABOUT THE SHOW
EASTHAMPTON THEATER COMPANY presents the classic Easthampton and Drama Desk Award-winning play "ON GOLDEN POND" as their first production of their 2025 season.
Norman and Ethel Thayer return for another Summer together at their beloved family lake house on Golden Pond.
It’s an idyllic New England paradise where the loons sing good morning and Charlie the mailman delivers the mail by boat.
Norman, turning 80, is convinced it will be his last time at the lake.
During the course of the summer, the couple are visited by their adult daughter, Chelsea, her new fiancé, Bill, and his 13-year-old son, Billy Ray.
This warm-hearted story is a meditation on aging and the long-term family wounds that drive us away from each other, but also can bring us together.
Themes include facing the ravages of time, bridging the generational divides, and finding connection in the most unlikely places.
Ultimately, the play shows us how we confront and accept each other with wit, humor, and above all, love.
