You’ve read the book, you’ve seen the movies…but be prepared to be transported “there and back again” in Patricia Gray’s stage adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien’s beloved epic tale of magic, treasure, and dragons. 

The Hobbit deftly transports you from Bag-End through the goblin-riddled Misty Mountains and the dark forest of Mirkwood, up the Lonely Mountain where Smaug sits atop his treasures. 

A motley band of dwarves and a mysterious wizards are joined by reluctant burglars to deliver action-packed battles, raucous songs, and along the way find something Precious. 

The Hobbit is a fresh theatrical experience for the whole family, both for die-hard Tolkien fans, as well as an introduction for anyone who has been living alone in a cave in the dark going mad and somehow missed this classic story.

Join us in the McKinley Theater to see the North Star Academy cast in this play version of The Hobbit, November 15-17.

This production is directed by Bay Area children's theater guru Gary Gerber with support from Woodside High School alumnus Nicki Weppner in his role of assistant director.
