Minnetonka Theatre Presents "On Golden Pond"

Minnetonka Theatre is thrilled to kick off its 2024-25 season with an exciting special event, a production of Ernest Thompson’s American favorite, On Golden Pond, starring Twin Cities’ husband-and-wife acting team, James Cada and Susanne Egli, as Norman and Ethel Thayer.

Susanne and Jim have been working together since 1986 in a variety of roles. They each have local and national theatrical, television, and movie credits and, as guest artists, they have directed 20 productions for Minnetonka High School. 

Minnetonka Theatre’s Artistic Director Trent Boyum says, “We’re thrilled to celebrate Jim and Susanne’s 20-year commitment to our students by having them appear on stage in On Golden Pond. Be sure to get your tickets now, the show is sure to sell out!”

About On Golden Pond
Retired couple Ethel and Norman Thayer are spending their 48th summer at their vacation home on Golden Pond. Their relaxing routine is given a bitterly comedic edge when their daughter Chelsea arrives with her new boyfriend Bill, and his teenage son, Billy Jr. The turbulent relationship between father and daughter, the generation gap between young and old, and the struggles of a long marriage, all combine in a play that effortlessly illustrates the hilarious, heartbreaking, human moments of which life is made.
