On Golden Pond at GPT Abilene

Spend a heartwarming  summer with retired couple Norman and Ethel Thayer when Great Plains Theatre presents Ernest Thompson's beloved comedy On Golden Pond. The play will run November 13-22 at our new location at 401 Cottage Avenue in Abilene, Kansas.

Norman and Ethel are all set for their perennial summer getaway of fifty-years in Golden Pond, Maine. When their estranged daughter Chelsea surprises the couple with a visit, the family must find ways to reconnect and heal, embracing each other's differences in spite of Norman's curmudgeonly ways.

On Golden Pond will be directed by Great Plains Theatre's Director of Education: Mark Robinson. The cast will feature GPT regular Herman Johansen as Norman, Marcia Sattelberg as Ethel, Lindsay Odegaard as Chelsea, Ted Kitterman as Chelsea's fiancée Bill Ray, local favorite Nick Wright as Bill's teenage son Billy, and Paul Evans as Chelsea's childhood friend and local mailman Charley. Scenery will be designed by William Snyder and costumes by Peggy Riley. Mark Warner stage manages and serves as Technical Director.

Be sure to get your tickets for the play that Variety calls "a rare and memorable theatre experience." For further information contact Great Plains Theatre at: 785.263.4574
