Retired couple Ethel and Norman Thayer’s 48th summer on Golden Pond in Maine is disrupted by their daughter, Chelsea, who leaves her 13 year-old step-son in their care for the summer. The difficulties of a couple in their twilight years and the challenges of resolving the generation gap, take on a warm and witty edge in a play that effortlessly illustrates the hilarious, heartbreaking, human moments of which life is made.
