"Norman and Ethel Thayer have been coming to Golden Pond since they were newlyweds. Now 48 years later, as they spend another summer on its shores, the couple discovers that even at their age, life can still be quite surprising. A delightfully funny look at life, love and the passing of time."

From 3 Bros: Wolf at the Door

"Picture three actors, three stories, one wolf! Wander through the enchanted forest with that wicked wolf from Little Red Riding Hood, Peter and the Wolf, and the Three Little Pigs. He’ll coax, cajole, and charm to get just a little, tasty morsel of food. But never fear! The other characters in the forest have some tricks of their own up their sleeves. This production is appropriate for all children, especially those ages 3-8. "
