Encore Stage & Studio, the performing arts group that presents theatre by kids for kids, has a new production opening this week. The Hobbit will open at the Thomas Jefferson Community Theatre on Friday, October 26, and run through Sunday, November 4. And I’m giving away a family-four pack of tickets to see it. Here’s a description of the show:
Take an exciting journey through Middle Earth with an ordinary hobbit, Bilbo Baggins! Encore is pleased to bring J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved novel to life onstage. Bilbo and a throng of dwarfs embark on an adventure to reclaim important treasure, encountering goblins, trolls, and even a dragon along the way. But, as the great wizard Gandalf advises, be sure not to stray off the path!
Obviously, I haven’t seen this show yet, but I have seen a couple of Encore Stage & Studio productions and they are always very entertaining — kids take on most of the roles, which I think kids in the audience love to see.
The show, recommended for ages 4 and up, will be performed at several times on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during both weekends of its run. Tickets are $12/adults, $10/children, students, & seniors.
