Auditions on Sept 9, 10 &12, 2019
We have added a third date for auditions- Thursday, September 12!
Please consider auditioning for our fall production - "Don't Hug Me!" Auditions will be held at GNTC's Off Broadway site from 6:00 - 9:00 pm each night. Actors are asked to prepare scenes and music with the information posted below. Click here for a map to Off Broadway, located right outside of Rockville on Hwy 23.
The story takes place in a colorful, rustic north woods bar in tiny Bunyan Bay, Minnesota. It’s the coldest day of the year and cantankerous bar owner Gunner Johnson wants to sell the business and move to sunny 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 that tests their relationships and when a fast-talking salesman, Aarvid Gisselsen, promises to solve their problems and bring romance into their lives through the ‘magic’ of karaoke, all heck breaks loose!
