Sonora’s STAGE 3 THEATRE presents a new
production of Academy Award Winning writer Ernest Thompson’s classic play ON
GOLDEN POND about the nature of love, time, and something every family
has… Secrets.
One reason Thompson’s play has become a classic is,
unlike its characters, its true-to-life themes don’t age. Director Jon Dambacher helms a piercing look
at a family coming to terms with the roles they play in each other’s lives. Norman and Ethel, played by Michael Lynch and Francine LaMeire, are husband and wife enjoying retirement in their
vacation home. Charlie the mailman, Ben Adriano, stops in to ask about
their estranged daughter Chelsea, Katryn
Weston, whom he was once intimate with.
A letter from Chelsea announces an upcoming visit bringing along her
latest boyfriend Bill. It has been
several years since the family has been together. Why?
Bill wants to let her parents know he’s not like
all the other guys she’s introduced them to.
This one also has a son. Oddly
enough, it’s this man’s thirteen year old son Billy, Colin Gordon, who will help change these people’s lives. As the guests
arrive there’s a lot more than clothes being unpacked. At what point in a relationship does one
really open one’s baggage?
“Love both separates and unites us,” says Dambacher. “It moves us forwards, backwards, to some things
we wish never to relive, or it takes us to a place where we ache to go again.”
Do you want to know a secret?
