Adventure Drama

The Hobbit

May 2 - 10, 2026

RLT’s Louise “Scottie” Stephenson Amphitheatre (General Admission)


Bilbo Baggins, one of the most reserved of all Hobbits, is asked to leave his large, roomy and very dry home in the ground in order to set off as chief robber in an attempt to recover an important treasure. It’s the last thing that any sensitive Hobbit would want to do, but a great treasure lies in store – not only for Bilbo, but for all of the Hobbits who inhabit Middle Earth. This 60-minute adaptation of the beloved tale will be a delight to those children and adults who continue to enjoy the magic of Tolkien.

Adapted by Edward Mast
Based on The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

Directed by Flora Bare

Produced by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock, Illinois.
