Clara, played by Kylie Robinson, is 8 1/2 months pregnant and looking forward to her baby shower. A freak snow storm hits and snows them in. Her husband Gunner, played by Randy Smith, realizes his worst nightmare has come true when Clara goes into labor. Tickets are still available as the cast and crew of “Don’t Hug Me I’m Pregnant” is ready to bring the successful musical production to a close this Friday and Saturday night when the curtain rises at 7 p.m. The show is Directed by Marty Neider and Musical Direction by Kathryn Ferguson.
