‘On Golden Pond’<br />
Comes To Big Bear<br />
The popular play On Golden Pond first appeared on Broadway<br />
30 years ago and was later made into an Oscar-winning movie<br />
starring Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn. It is being redone<br />
again this year both in New York City – and in our own Big Bear<br />
Lake, starring John Grandi and Elena Peavy at the Big Bear Lake Performing<br />
Arts Center the first weekend in August<br />
This is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer who are returning<br />
to their summer home on Golden Pond for the forty-eighth year.<br />
He is a retired professor, nearing eighty, with heart palpitations and a<br />
failing memory—but still as tart-tongued, observant and eager for life<br />
as ever. Ethel, ten years younger, and the perfect foil for Norman, delights<br />
in all the small things that have enriched and continue to enrich<br />
their long life together.<br />
They are visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her<br />
dentist fiancé who then go off to Europe, leaving his teenage son<br />
behind for the summer. The boy quickly becomes the “grandchild”<br />
the elderly couple have longed for, and as Norman revels in taking his<br />
ward fishing and thrusting good books at him, he also learns some lessons<br />
about modern teenage awareness—and slang—in return.<br />
In the end, as the summer wanes so does their brief idyll, and in<br />
the final, deeply moving moments of the play, Norman and Ethel are<br />
brought even closer together by the incidence of a mild heart attack.<br />
Time, they know, is now against them, but the years have been good<br />
and perhaps another summer on Golden Pond still awaits.<br />
Performances are at 7:30pm on Friday and Saturday nights, August<br />
5 and 6, and a 1:30pm matinee on Sunday, August 7. Tickets are available<br />
online at www.citybigbearlake.com, or by calling (909) 866-4970.<br />
Net proceeds will go to the Bear Valley Hospital Foundation. IER<br />
