DESCRIPTION:The story of The Hobbit follows Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving hobbit who is unexpectedly\nswept into an epic adventure alongside a company of dwarves and the wizard Gandalf. Along the way,\nhe encounters trolls, goblins, dragons, and the mysterious Gollum, discovering courage and resilience\nhe never knew he possessed. In a bold and playful theatrical feat, The Hobbit is brought to life by just five actors who\ntransform everyday objects into dragons, dwarves, goblins, and epic landscapes. Set inside “Tutu’s\ngarage,” the production celebrates the ingenuity of local storytelling and serves as a heartfelt tribute to\nthe make-believers—those who understand that imagination can transform the ordinary into the\nextraordinary. This production also marks a major milestone: the 55th anniversary of the Theatre for Young\nAudiences program at UH Mānoa. Founded in 1971 by Tamara Montgomery as Children’s Theatre\n(later known as Youth Theatre), the program as spent more than five decades inspiring young\naudiences and training generations of actors, directors, puppeteers, teaching artists, and arts leaders\nwho have gone on to enrich communities throughout Hawai‘i, the nation, and beyond.\nIn honor of this legacy, all proceeds from The Hobbit will support a newly established University\nof Hawai‘i Foundation account dedicated to sustaining and strengthening the TYA program for future\ngenerations. \nBased on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien\nLicensed by Middle-earth Enterprises\nAdapted for the Stage by Greg Banks\nMusic by Tom Johnson\nOriginally commissioned and produced by Children’s Theatre Company\nProduced by special arrangement with Plays for New Audiences
