Boy Needed for "On Golden Pond" Play

Easthampton, MA, United States
ID: 575911Exp: 11/12/2024
Description:

Looking for a boy for "On Golden Pond" Play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Norman and Ethel Thayer return to their beloved family lake house on Golden Pond for another summer together. It’s an idyllic New England paradise where the loons sing good morning, and Charlie the mailman delivers the mail by boat. Norman, turning 80, is convinced it will be his last time. During the course of the summer, they are visited by their daughter, Chelsea, her new fiancé, Bill, and his 13-year-old son, Billy Ray. The story unfolds as a meditation on aging and the long-term family wounds that drive us away, but that can also bring us together. Themes include facing the ravages of time, bridging the generational divides, and finding connections in the most unlikely places. Ultimately, the play shows us how we confront and accept each other with wit, humor, and above all, love. Additional info: Rehearsals start December 15th, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons, with a break for the Holidays. Tech Week (mandatory) starts March 9th and performance dates are the weekends of March 14th and 21st, in Easthampton, MA. If interested, please apply.

(must be able to play a 13 year old boy convincingly.) A punk kid from LA who has been dragged along on this summer of no fun! He arrives “way too cool for any of this bull****.” However, after a month with Norman and Ethel, he develops a bond of love and friendship, especially with Norman over the joy of fishing.
