Casting Call for "On Golden Pond" Play
Looking for performers for "On Golden Pond" Play. Please see the details below. About the project: The setting for ON GOLDEN POND is a lake-front New England summer cottage where nature and the sounds of loons provide an atmosphere for this family drama about an aging father (Norman) in his late 70s, and his estranged daughter (Chelsea) confronting issues and differences from her growing up years. In an important role, Billy, Chelsea's boyfriend's son, a confident and fun-loving typical teenager, spends extended time on the lake with Normal and Ethel, possibly reflecting the son (instead of daughter Chelsea) Norman never had. In the highly successful movie based on the play, Jane Fonda starred with her father, Henry Fonda (both noted screen actors) which reflected the actual troubled relationship of the Fondas and reportedly helped mend the rift. Katherine Hepburn played Norman's wife in the movie and both earned Academy Awards. Playwright/screenwriter Thompson scored an Oscar for best screenplay adaptation. The warmth humor and realistic relationships reflected in Thompson's fully- realized play make all of the roles a delight to play. Additional info: Opens January 3, 2025 for three consecutive weekends. If you are interested, please apply.
