DON'T HUG ME A LOVE STORY WITH SINGIN' AND STUFF
December 7 - 31 LONG BRANCH, NJ A Co-Production with _New Jersey Repertory Company_ (http://www.njrep.org/home.htm) book & lyrics by Phil Olson, music by Paul Olson It's the coldest day of the year in Bunyan Bay, Minnesota and cantankerous bar owner, Gunner Johnson, wants to sell the business and move to Florida. Clara, his wife and former Winter Carnival Bunyan Queen, wants to stay. 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, and when a fast-talking salesman, Aarvid Gisselsen, promises to bring romance into their lives through the 'magic' of karaoke, all heck breaks loose in a musical the whole family will enjoy!
