Great Plains Theatre continues its 21st Season with Ernest Thompson's heartwarming comedy On Golden Pond.  The fifth show in the 2015 season opens Friday, November 13th and runs through November 22nd.  Directed by Mark Robinson, the production will feature Herman Johansen as Norman, the curmudgeonly retired English professor and Marcia Sattelberg plays his feisty wife, Ethel.  Together, the retired couple spend their summers on Gold Pond in Maine.  This particular summer, their estranged daughter Chelsea (Lindsay Odegaard) comes home for a visit, and the family learns to heal through humor and forgiveness.  The cast also features Nick Wright, Ted Kitterman, and Paul Evans.  Scenery is designed by William Snyder and costumes are by Peggy Riley.  Mark Warner stage manages and serves at the Technical Director.  "This will be our second production at our new location at 401 Cottage Ave, the home of Thunder Struck Bumpers, Inc.," states Elizabeth Weese, executive director of GPT.  "Those patrons that had the opportunity to attend our last production were very impressed with what we had accomplished inside the building."  "The theatre, once again, has a very intimate feel which is what our patrons like," stated Weese.  With limited seating, Weese advises to get your tickets early. 

Tickets for On Golden Pond may be purchased at the box office, 401 Cottage Ave., or by phone at 785.263.4574 or online at www.greatplainstheatre.com.
