On Golden Pond is a play about an aging couple, Ethel and Norman Thayer, who return to their summer home on a lake called Golden Pond. There they are visited by their estranged daughter Chelsea, accompanied by her new fiancé Bill, and his teenage son Billy Ray Jr. The play explores the often-turbulent relationship shared between Chelsea and her father growing up. As the summer progresses, Norman bonds with Billy Ray Jr, Billy becomes the "grandchild" Norman and Ethel have longed for, and as Norman revels in taking his ward fishing and thrusting good books at him, he also learns some lessons about modern teenage awareness--and slang--in return. The summer encounters ultimately lead to a deeper understanding and reconciliation between the family members as they confront the realities of aging and mortality.

CHARACTERS

Norman Thayer, Jr.: 70- 80’s- Nearing his 80th birthday, Norman is flirting with senility and is aware of it enough to use it to his advantage, usually in a humorous way. He is a curmudgeon, as he feels his age entitles him to be. He is very much in love with Ethel, his wife, but doesn’t quite know what to do about their daughter, Chelsea.

Ethel Thayer: 60-70’s-Ten years younger than Norman, Ethel is a spritely, active woman who loves her husband completely and who is in love with simply being alive. She is caregiver, sweetheart, and friend to Norman.

Charlie Martin: 40’s-The local delivery-by-boat mailman, Charlie is a long-time family friend and a typical Maine down-Easterner. Still single, he has had a life-long crush on Chelsea.

Chelsea Thayer Wayne: 40’s Attractive, divorced, and in her forties, Chelsea is still dealing with the lack of closeness between her and Norman. She is engaged to Bill Ray, whom she brings to meet her parents.

Billy Ray: 13-15-The fourteen-year-old son of Bill Ray, he is a typical California teenager who comes to spend a month with Norman and Ethel on Golden Pond while his father and Chelsea are in Europe.

Bill Ray: 40’s - Chelsea’s fiancé and Billy’s father, Bill is definitely not the outdoors type. He is trying his best to make a good impression on Norman and Ethel.
