SYNOPSIS:

In this all-ages adventure, J.R.R. Tolkien’s magical Middle Earth transitions from page to stage in spellbinding fashion. An unexpected journey awaits homebody Bilbo Baggins, his BFF Gandalf, a new guy named Thorin, and anyone brave enough to join them. What starts as a Dungeons and Dragons tabletop game between friends quickly escalates into a collective fever dream as the group overcomes obstacles ranging from monstrous goblins to the fearsome dragon Smaug and form a bond for the ages.

This epic trek, reimagined through the whimsical lens of playwright Greg Banks (Public Unplugged’s Robin Hood) and featuring puppets designed by Resident Artists Matt Acheson (Broadway’s War Horse Puppetry Director) and Jamie Agnello, is a treasure hunt sure to make families want to go there and back again.



Directed by Marya Sea Kaminski
