Hobbits are quiet folk who prefer the comforts of home and drink and food. And Bilbo Baggins is no exception. But when Gandalf, the wandering grey wizard, shows up on his doorstep and offers him an adventure of a lifetime, Bilbo finds himself swept along on a quest with 13 determined dwarves, trolls, goblins, and a magic ring. At the end waits the great a terrible dragon Smaug.
This theatrical and imaginative performance will feature actor-musicians from THE RUDE SEA (the band behind the music of OSF 2024’s The Wizard of Oz), plenty of fantasy and high-stakes swordplay, and magic sure to enchant the entire family.
Tolkien fans will appreciate the attention to Tolkien-lore and costuming that homages the famous Peter Jackson movies.
