MACT

Auditions for On Golden Pond will be held Sunday, Aug. 24, and Monday, Aug. 25 at 7 p.m. both nights. Auditions are held at the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center.

THE STORY
Ethel and Norman Thayer return to their summer home on Golden Pond for the forty-eighth year. Norman, a retired professor nearing eighty, experiences heart palpitations and a failing memory, yet remains lively and observant. Ethel, ten years younger, delights in the small things that enrich their life together. They are visited by their divorced daughter and her fiancé, who leave her teenage son behind for the summer. The boy becomes the “grandchild” the couple longed for, and Norman learns about modern adolescent awareness and slang.

WHAT WILL AUDITIONS BE LIKE?
You will sign in and fill out an audition form to tell us about yourself. Don’t worry if you’ve never done this before — experience isn’t required. A script will be given to you at the auditions. You will be asked to read from the script along with others who are auditioning.

WHAT ROLES ARE AVAILABLE?
There are fives roles, four for adults and one for a tween/teenager.

WHEN ARE REHEARSALS?
Not long after auditions, rehearsals will be scheduled weeknights, with some weekend involvement closer to the performance dates, which are October 9, 10, 11, 12(M), 15, 16, 17 & 18(M), 2025.
