''On Golden Pond''

The Orangeburg Part-Time Players will present ''On Golden Pond'' March 11-13 and 18-20 at the BlueBird Theatre in downtown Orangeburg. Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays. "On Golden Pond" tells the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who are returning to their summer home on Golden Pond for the 48th year. Norman is a retired professor, nearing 80, with heart palpitations and a failing memory — but still as tart-tongued, observant and eager for life as ever. Ethel, 10 years younger and the perfect foil for Norman, delights in all the small things that have enriched and continue to enrich their long life together. They are visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiancé, who then go off to Europe, leaving his teenage son behind for the summer. The boy quickly becomes the grandchild the elderly couple have longed for. ''On Golden Pond'' by Ernest Thompson is a touching, funny and warmly perceptive study of a spirited and lovable elderly couple facing their twilight years. Tickets are $14 for adults and $12 for senior citizens 55 and older and youth 16 and younger. For tickets, call 803-536-5454.
