AMANA — It’s the coldest day of the year in Bunyan Bay, Minn., when a slick Karaoke saleman slides into town and turns life upside down in The Old Creamery Theatre Company’s production of “Don’t Hug Me,” opening Thursday, Sept. 10, at 3 p.m. on the main stage in Amana.
A “Minnesota love story, with singin’ and stuff,” “Don’t Hug Me” features Old Creamery favorite, Marquetta Senters of South Amana (recently featured in “Always…Patsy Cline” and “The Queen of Bingo”) teamed up with funny man James Fleming of New York (“Whose Wives Are They Anyway” and “Leaving Iowa”); TJ Besler of Manchester; Jeff Haffner of Cleveland, Ohio; and Amber Snyder of Memphis, Tenn. Directed by Sean McCall, “Don’t Hug Me” will keep the audience laughing until spring.
