Conversations at Walden: A Short Play by Pete Cormier

This play, has been performed six times at non-traditional venues during 2022 and 2023. In 2025, it was accepted by the Thoreau Society for a performance at their 84th gathering in Concord, MA on July 9, 2025. To prepare for this show, we held local performances at the Center for Active Living in Sandwich, and at Keystone Senior Living in Buzzards Bay.

The play follows Mia as she walks the trails around Walden Pond accompanied by her spirit guides, Aime and Jane, and reflects on the words of Henry David Thoreau as she tries to make sense of her life.

Cast

Mia – Lyndsey Rotman
Aime – Maria Herrera
Jane – Suzanne Banister

We have plans to stage this play again in early 2026.
