Southside Theatre Guild in Fairburn will launch its 50th season with “On Golden Pond,” a play written by Ernest Thompson, later adapted into an Oscar-winning film starring Henry Fonda, Katharine Hepburn and Jane Fonda.

The play focuses on an aging couple, Norman and Ethel Thayer, and their relationship with their daughter, Chelsea, and the men in her life. It is a well-loved drama with comedic moments and a tender, emotional core.

Performances will take place at Southside Theatre Guild, Thursdays-Sundays, Sept. 15-25. Showtimes are 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturday, Sept. 24 and 2:30 p.m. Sundays and Saturday, Sept. 17.
