On
Golden Pond
by Ernest Thompson
Directed by Jeff Groh
September 24 – October 2, 2010
Charlie Martin - is a local
man (late 30's early 40's) who has known the Thayers
most of his life. He is described as big and round with a weathered
face from
spending so much time on the lake, and he has been the mailman for
many
years. Charlie laughs a little too often and does not understand
the subtlety
of Norman's sarcasm, although he is drawn to Ethel's hospitality.
Bill Ray - Chelsea's fiancé,
Bill Ray, is a dentist from California. He is father to
Billy. Bill is an honest person who confronts issues in a straightforward
way.
Billy Ray Jr.- is the eleven
to fifteen-year-old son of Bill Ray. Billy is
short, smart, and struck by the awkwardness that comes with his
age.
Ethel Thayer - is Norman's
sixty to seventy year-old wife. She is energetic,
loving, and sociable. Ethel is nonjudgmental, good-natured, and
encouraging.
Norman Thayer Jr. - is a
70-80ish retired college professor. He has many of the
ailments common to people his age, including arthritis and palpitations,
but his
most pressing health issue is his slow mental decline. He is described
as a
white-haired man with glasses who dresses comfortably. He has a
sarcastic
sense of humor, and he can be impatient, insensitive, and intolerant.
Chelsea Thayer Wayne
- is the only child of Ethel and Norman. She is in her forties and
divorced, and she has a strained relationship with her father. Chelsea
is described as pretty, tan, and athletic-looking, but slightly
heavy.
