Norman and Ethel Thayer have recently returned to spend their forty-eighth summer at their vacation home on Golden Pond in Maine. Norman is doing his best to see that the phone is in working order, while Ethel, who has been gathering firewood, is excited at having met some of the neighbors. Norman, whose memory isn’t what it once was, is about to turn eighty and seems preoccupied, albeit humorously, with the prospect of dying.

A giant pecan stolen, a minister on the make, aliens, a prom queen on the verge of a breakdown, Texas beauty parlor gossip, and a shotgun wedding — just your average day in 1980s Seguin, Texas — otherwise known as, The Home of the Great Pecan!

Provocative and brave, an American play on climate change.
-NY Times
Extreme Whether (“brave and pioneering”, “laced with darkness and humor” Andrew Revkin, NYTimes) had a sold-out premiere at Theater for the New City in October. Each performance was followed by a talk back (Dr. James Hansen, Dr. Jennifer Francis, Dr. Dale Jamieson, Dr. Ana Baptista and many others). Andy Revkin described the play as about the American family in our current debate. Jim Hansen said “the love of nature” the play evokes is its most important part and the “documentaries are boring, but this play really moves people.” Jennifer Francis says “it is just a most impressive play. It was wonderful as a reading. It is even more wonderful now.”
