"On Golden Pond" Play Seeks Boy Actor

In need of a boy for the "On Golden Pond" Play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: This poignant play is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who have returned to their summer home on Golden Pond for the 48th straight year. He is a retired professor, nearing 80, with heart palpitations and a failing memory – but still as tart-tongued, observant and eager for life as ever. Ethel, ten years younger and the perfect foil for Norman, delights in all the small things that have enriched and continue to enrich their long life together. They are visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiancé, who then go off to Europe, leaving his teenage son behind for the summer. It takes some adjustment, but the boy and Norman begin to bond, the kid awakening in the old man the curiosity and sense of purpose that have gone dormant. As Norman revels in taking his new charge fishing and thrusting good books at him, he also learns some lessons about modern teenage awareness – and slang – in return, giving Ethel hope that she hasn’t yet lost her beloved husband to the dementia she fears will claim him. In the final, deeply moving moments of the play, Norman and Ethel are brought even closer together when he survives a frightening heart attack. Time, they know, may be against them, but the years have been good and, perhaps, another summer on Golden Pond still awaits. Additional info: Auditions will be a cold reading from the script.
