Theatre Artists Studio to Present ON GOLDEN POND, 11/28-12/14
Theatre Artists Studio presents Ernest Thompson's American classic comedy, On Golden Pond, from November 28 through December 14 at The Studio, 4848 E. Cactus Rd, #406, in Scottsdale.
This heartwarming and often hilarious comedy centers on a long-married couple, Norman and Ethel Thayer. Loveable curmudgeon Norman is as tart-tongued as ever, and his spirited wife, Ethel, delights in all of the small things that have enriched their lives. Together, they are returning to their summer home for their 48th year on Golden Pond.
When their estranged daughter arrives with her fiancé and his son in tow, Norman and Ethel agree to host the young boy for the duration of the summer. And as they come to terms with the realities of life's twilight years, reexamining the past and worrying over the fleeting future, they discover how precious time really is.
On Golden Pond won three Tony Awards in its original Broadway run, and the 1981 film adaptation received 10 Oscar nominations, with wins for its stars Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn, as well as writer Ernest Thompson.
