| Dave Lambert, your friendly editor of the Agitator, has been rehearsing for the role of Norman Thayer, Jr., in the Ernest Thompson play, "On Golden Pond," which is why he has been lying low when it comes to peace work the past few weeks. Don't worry, he'll be back! (A couple of his friends told him that playing a crotchety old man with failing memory shouldn't be that much of a stretch.) Thanks! The play will be performed at First Presbyterian Theatre, Fort Wayne, opening Aug. 28 - Sept. 13, 2008 **Thursday preview (Aug. 28) -curtain at 7:30 p.m.-tickets $8 *Sunday Matinees-curtain at 2 p.m. All other dates are Friday and Saturday-curtain at 8 p.m. Tickets are $16 / $14 for seniors (over 60) and young audiences (under 23) FPT is located in First Presbyterian Church—just north of the Allen County Public Library"> (Map)View Larger Map"> Cast: Norman: Dave Lambert Ethel: Judy Whitney Chelsea: Peg Barnell Bill: Brian Davies Charley: Andrew Gingrich Billy: Alex Soto Directed by: Joel Scribner "Many of us may wonder what it is like when you finally have to face the realities of getting old . The kids are now adults the summer cottage just does not hold the same value as before . Years ago you created the memories you reflect upon today and there is a sense of emptiness . Age takes it's toll more severely on some than on others . That staunch Yankee attitude of " Grin and Bear it " comes to light while others can not accept that their capabilities have diminished and that their roar is bigger than their bite. The story goes straight to your heart, there are memories to be made on Golden Pond even while your golden years pass by. The leaves will turn color and the song of the Loon will disappear , only to return again next year with or without you. Times will change , not necessarily for the best but , Life goes on , on golden pond ." (From one review) |
