About this show
Six actors. Dozens of characters. One dragon. Adventure awaits in this bold, imaginative adaptation of The Hobbit, authorized by Middle-earth Enterprises. With only six actors, a few props and limitless creativity, Tolkien's epic tale springs to life through inventive staging, physical storytelling and playful theatrical magic. The ensemble transforms into trolls, elves, goblins, eagles and Smaug, the dragon, as Bilbo Baggins leaves the comfort of the Shire and discovers courage he never knew he had. Fast-paced, funny, filled with surprises, the production uses movement, lights and shadows, puppetry and imagination to create a world larger than the stage.
