1. “Don’t Hug Me, We’re Married”

Back for a new spin on an old favorite, Albert Lea Community Theater will perform “Don’t Hug Me, We’re Married” at the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center.

Characters Gunner and Clara return to the stage in the midst of a marital crisis they’re attempting to resolve by competing to be crowned the better spouse. Other characters also attempt to work out relationship dynamics. Those new to the series and those familiar with former “Don’t Hug Me” plays performed with ACT can expect both humor and musical wit. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.
