June         On Golden Pond

Old Settler’s Weekend features a revival of the 1990 production, “On Golden Pond”, written by Ernest Thompson  This tender hearted comedy is perfect for a summer season at the lake.  Meet Ethel and Norman Thayer as they spend their 48th summer at their lake home .  Their daughter, Chelsea and her fiancée Bill, arrive at the lake along with his son, Billy.  Explore the relationships of father/daughter, husband/wife and old/young told with laughter and tears. The 1981 film version featured Katherine Hepburn, Henry Fonda and his daughter, Jane Fonda.  Be sure to join PWP Thursday June 25 through Sunday, June 28 with dinner theatre on Friday and Saturday nights and the Sunday matinee.


JULY         DON'T HUG ME

A humorous, musical look at life here in the north country.

Don't Hug Me is a national award-winning musical comedy that takes place in a colorful, rustic north woods bar in tiny Bunyan Bay, Minnesota. It's the coldest, most bone-chilling day of the year and cantankerous bar owner Gunner Johnson is ready to sell the business and move to sunny Florida. Clara, his wife and former Winter Carnival Bunyan Queen, is perfectly content staying right where she is. Bernice Lundstrom, the pretty waitress, wants to pursue a singing career. Her fiance, Kanute Gunderson, wants her to stay home. It's a battle of wills that tests their relationships and when a fast-talking salesman, Aarvid Gisselsen, promises to bring romance into their lives through the 'magic' of karaoke, all heck breaks loose!

Friday July 17 and Saturday July 18 at 7:30 pm with Dinner Theater for both performances.
