It wasn’t the movie version, it was De- Kalb’s very own fall play featuring “On Golden Pond” in the DHS auditorium on November 4 and 5. Bryan Nugen starred as the leading man playing Norman Thayer and the lead- ing lady, Marla McKown, played Norman’s wife, Ethel Thayer. Other cast members included Kim Knauer as Chelsea Thayer, their daughter; Scott Johnson, as Bill Ray, Chelsea’s boyfriend; Darren McKown as Billy Ray, his son; and Scott Metzger, as Charlie Martin the mailman. “On Golden Pond” is a play that shows love between husband and wife and par- ents and children. The play, written by Ernest Thompson, all revolves around Norman and Ethel Thayer, who were por- trayed very well during the whole play. The director was Mr. Gerry Nagel and his assistant director was Janet Fee. As the rest of the cast members stand by, Bryan Nugen prepares to take a bow after his excellent portrayal of Norman Thayer. After first arriving at the Thayer cottage on Golden Pond, Bill Ray and Chelsea discuss Norman and his 80th birthday celebration. Fall Play © 15
