ABOUT THE SHOW
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.

ABOUT GATEWAY PLAYERS THEATRE OF SOUTHBRIDGE
GATEWAY PLAYERS THEATRE, INC. is an all-volunteer community theater providing quality live theatre performances and workshops to Southbridge, Sturbridge, and Charlton, Massachusetts and surrounding areas. GATEWAY PLAYERS THEATRE, INC. started in 1975, when a group of interested community members decided that Southbridge needed a theater group to bring live productions to the area. First using local schools and borrowed rehearsal and storage space, GATEWAY then moved into its current home in 1978, when Ruth Wells (of the American Optical Company Wells family) donated her home on Main Street as a cultural center in Southbridge. GATEWAY PLAYERS THEATRE offers a full season of productions, usually performed at Elm Street Congregational Church, 61 Elm Street, Southbridge, MA. as well as workshops for youths and adults. Auditions are open to all, and new members are always welcome.
