I Hate Hamlet - Extending through Sunday June 1st!

Andrew Rally seems to have it all: celebrity and acclaim from his starring role in a hit television series; a rich beautiful girlfriend; a glamorous, devoted agent; the perfect New York apartment; and the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park. There are, however, a couple of glitches in paradise. Andrew’s series has been canceled; his girlfriend is clinging to her virginity with unyielding conviction; and he has no desire to play Hamlet. When Andrew’s agent visits him, she reminices about her brief romance with John Barrymore many years ago, in Andrew’s apartment. This prompts a seance to summon his ghost. From the moment Barrymore returns, dressid in high Shakespearan garb, Andrew’s life is no longer his own. Barrymore, fortified by champagne and ego, presses Andrew to accept the part and fulfill his actor’s destiny. The action becomes more hilarious with the entrance of Andrew’s deal-making friend from LA, spouting the laid-back hype of the Coast and offering Andrew a fabulous new TV deal worth millions of dollars. The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and the fact that he fails as Hamlet in Central Park.

“…unapologetically silly and at times hilarious… affectionately amusing about the theatre…”

-The New York Times

“… fast-mouthed and funny…It has the old-fashioned Broadway virtues of brightness without pretensions and sentimentality without morals.”

-The Village Voice

It’s Christmas Eve in Bunyan Bay, Minnesota and cantankerous bar owner Gunner Johnson gets in an argument with his wife, Clara, tells her he’s skipping Christmas, he storms out of the bar, goes snowmobiling across the lake, falls through the ice on his skidoo and goes into a coma. He comes back in his dream where he’s visited by folk legend, Sven Yorgensen, who plays the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future. Sven takes Gunner (Scrooge) on a journey similar to that in Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” only very different. Will Gunner come out of his coma and find redemption with Clara at The Bunyan? Find out.

What theatre producers are saying about A Don’t Hug Me Christmas Carol:

“Opening night here at Pioneer Place was a HUGE hit. The audience response was overwhelming. Ticket sales are brisk with seven shows sold out already. This will be the hardest ticket in town to get…We really needed this shot in the arm!!!” - Dan Barth - Owner, Pioneer Place on Fifth

“We closed New Years Eve day and the show was a great success. We had nearly sold out houses after the first weekend. I had people coming back 2-3 times so they can catch things they missed when they were laughing. One lady said to me on the way out of the theatre…’Tell the author to keep writing!’” - Deb Belquist - Niven Adams Opera House

“What’s usually a 6 week run has turned into a 16 week run, outstanding for a holiday show. The word of mouth is incredible. I’ve never seen so many people come back so many times to see a show. ” - Doug Engalla - Lonny Chapman Group Repertory Theatre
