Join a band of storytellers in the not-so-distant-future, as they tell the story of Bilbo Baggins in this inventive adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic tale. Our storytellers follow Bilbo on a journey beyond the borders of the familiar, as he is swept into a quest with Gandalf and a band of determined dwarves, facing trolls, goblins, riddles, and a dragon named Smaug—with bravery he never knew he had. Told with an ensemble of actors, imaginative staging, and boundless heart, The Hobbit explores how stories bring us courage in the darkest times and reminds us that even the smallest person can change the course of the future.
