INDIANAPOLIS —The Indiana Repertory Theatre (IRT) closes its season with a family feel-good production that promises to leave audiences with a warm afterglow. On Golden Pond, a beloved Tony Award-winning play, comes to the OneAmerica Mainstage April 14 through May 10.
On Golden Pond tells the story of Norman (Robert Elliott) and Ethel Thayer (Darrie Lawrence) who have spent nearly 40 summers in their Maine cottage, located on the banks of Golden Pond. But just as Norman –who’s experiencing frequent bouts of forgetfulness—starts to lose his zest for life, he receives an unexpected but welcomed visitor who turns his world upside-down. This visitor, an inquisitive and misled thirteen year-old boy named Billy Ray (Griffin Grider) challenges Norman and not only rejuvenates his love of life, but also helps restore a faded relationship between Norman and his daughter, Chelsea (Constance Macy).
This cozy, close-to-home production is recommended for audiences 13 years and older. It is two hours and 15 minutes and includes one intermission.
