Golden Pond found in Lincoln City

This spring a classic story of a summer getaway comes to the coastal stage of Theatre West. From March 6-29, Director Kaline Klass brings to life "On Golden Pond," a comedy by Ernest Thompson.

For their 48 year anniversary, Ethel and Norman Thayer return to their summer home. Visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiance, the Thayer's are then left with his teenage son for the summer when the couple jets off to Europe.

A surrogate grandchild for Ethel and Norman, the relationship becomes a give and take of age-appropriate advice.

Norman experiences a health scare toward the end of the summer, which brings he and Ethel closer together. As Theatre West describes, "Time, they know, is now against them, but the years have been good and, perhaps, another summer on Golden Pond still awaits."

Ticket prices for the performance are $10 for adults, $9 for seniors and students, while children under 12 are $7.

Shows are every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8 p.m.
