ON GOLDEN POND, MY THREE ANGELS and More Set for ACT's 2012-13 Season

ACT's Board today announced its 2012-13 season. The productions are as follows:

On Golden Pond by Ernest Thompson. 9/21/12 - 10-21-12. An award winning play that is as touching, warm, and witty today as when it debuted on Broadway in 1979. A retired couple, Ethel and Norman Thayer, spend every summer at their home on Golden Pond. This year, their adult daughter visits, bringing along her 13-year-old son. The turbulent relationship between father and daughter, the generation gap between young and old, and the difficulties facing a couple in the twilight years of a long marriage, all combine to give this play a wonderful perspectice on family and on life.

My Three Angels by Samuel and Bella Spewack. Directed by Don Gomes. 11/23/12 - 12/23/12. A Christmas comedy set in French Guiana, a region where on Christmas Eve the temperature has graciously dropped to 104 degrees. A family faces a dire situation, but their plight is heard by three angels up above -- actually three warm-hearted convicts on work release working on the family's roof. The convicts are passionate believers in true justice, and do their best to set matters right. A captivating and comedic holiday treasure also known as "We're No Angels."

A Shayna Maedel by Barbara Lebow. 1/25/13 - 2/17/13. A powerful, moving and deeply affecting portrait of a family, which conveys the aftermath of the Holocaust through a poignant, imaginatively conceived examination of one divided family's experience. Set in New York City after World War II, the play has been widely produced by America's leading regional theatres, and went on to become a long-run Off-Broadway success. "…a tribute to the sustaining power of family and to man's indomitability." —NY Times.

At Home With The Clarks by Rand Higbee. Directed by Nate Benson. 3/1/13 - 3/31/13. The world premier of a new play by Rand Higbee, author of the hilarious The Head That Wouldn't Die. A traditional 1960s American family faces seemmingly insurmountable difficulties involving time travel, nuclear war and a world overrun by zombies! There will be tears, but only from uncontrollable laughter.

Nunsense by Dan Goggin. 4/26/13 - 5/19/13. A zany musical which was awarded Best Off Broadway Musical in its original New York production. The show is a fund raiser put on by Catholic nuns, the Little Sisters of Hoboken, to raise money to bury sisters accidently poisoned by the convent cook, Sister Julia. "A hail of fun and frolic! Wacky and outrageous with a hysterical anything goes sense of fun!" N.Y. Times."Guaranteed to lift your spirits...Very, very funny." National Catholic News. "Go see it!" Jewish Post and Opinion.
