On Golden Pond
April 15-18, 22-24, 2010
A touching, funny and warmly perceptive love study of a spirited and lovable couple facing their twilight years. This is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who are returning to their summer home on Golden Pond for the forty-fourth year. He is a retired professor, nearing eighty, 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.
On Golden Pond Pictures are available for viewing here.
Smoke on the Mountain
August 12-15, 19-22, 26-29, 2010
The year is 1938. It’s Saturday night in Mount Pleasant, NC, and the Reverend Oglethorpe has invited the Sanders Family to provide an upliftin’ evening of singin’ and witnessin’. The audience is invited to pull up a pew and join in the rollicking good time. More than two dozen songs, many of them vintage pop hymns, and hilarious stories from the more or less devout Sanders provide a richly entertaining evening that has audiences clapping, singing, laughing, and cheering. “Totally beguiling . . . foot-stomping soul food.”—-N.Y. Post. “A charming and funny celebration of Americana.”—-N.Y. Times.
Don’t Cry For Me, Margaret Mitchell
October 14-17, 21-23, 2010
In 1939, David O. Selznick stopped production on the movie Gone With the Wind. He hated the script. It had to be rewritten. There was only one writer in Hollywood who could save the day-the legendary Ben Hecht. Selznick, Hecht and director Victor Fleming camp out in Selznick’s office to rewrite the screenplay. To their horror they soon discover that Hecht has never read the book and knows nothing about the characters. Only in Hollywood could something destined to turn out so wrong turn out so right. Fast-paced, funny and mostly true.
