On Golden Pond Reviews
Chicago Stage and Screen- Highly Recommended
"...While On Golden Pond is loaded with humorous one-liners and witty sarcasm, it also contains important themes such as love, connections, and burying the hatchet in order to pursue a fresh start. The story revolves around an older couple, Norman and Ethel Thayer (played by Dennis Kelly and Ami Silvestre) who visit their summer home in Maine (coincidentally named Golden Pond), and to celebrate Norman’s 80th birthday. During their vacation, they receive a visit from their middle-aged daughter Chelsea who presents her new boyfriend Bill Ray and his son Billy, and she has some news of her own to share with her parents."
Around The Town Chicago- Highly Recommended
"...Theatre at the Center starts their 2015 season with a fresh take on an old-fashioned love story, "On Golden Pond". Stars Dennis Kelly and Ami Sylvestre - who really are together - are absolutely charming. Even though I knew many of the lines, I still laughed because Kelly's timing and delivery was impeccable. Personally, I'd love to move right into their cozy summer home and curl up with a book. I give "On Golden Pond" 4 Spotlights."
