Conyers' New Depot Players Announce Auditions For On Golden Pond

The New Depot Players, Conyers' premier theatre company, will be holding auditions for their 2009 fall show, On Golden Pond, directed by Anne Hargis. Auditions will take place Sunday August 16 and Tuesday August 18 at 7:00pm at Center Street Arts Black Box Theatre, 910 Center Street, Conyers GA 30012 (Directions can be obtained at www.ConyersArts.org).    

Written by Ernest Thompson, On Golden Pond is a humorous and touching story of love that is both endearing and enduring. It gives us hope that it is never too late to connect with our family, to renew our love, and to grow. It is a timeless and timely piece that will delight and touch our audiences. It is sweet and understated and says more than it seems to on the surface about love, the aging process, and the generation gap.

     Norman Thayer, Jr. (80ish, actor can be 50s and up)
     Ethel Thayer (70ish, actress can be 50s and up)
     Chelsea Thayer (40-ish)
