At the edge of ADVENTURE

Bilbo Baggins is swept from his cozy Hobbit Hole and into a perilous quest across Middle-earth to help a band of Dwarves reclaim their home under the Lonely Mountain from a treacherous Dragon. Faced with Trolls, Goblins, Elves, giant spiders and the mysterious creature Gollum, Bilbo discovers his own resourcefulness and courage, and grows into an unlikely hero, proving indispensable to the Company as their journey culminates in a great battle that determines the very fate of the mountain and its inhabitants.

Based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s famous tale, The Hobbit is a not-to-be-missed magical journey for the holiday season. This imaginative Canadian adaptation brings audiences into a fantastical world of adventure, courage, and discovery.

Audience advisory: The wider world of Middle-earth is filled with beings quite unfamiliar to many young hobbits – a few of which some eyes might find frightening – such as Goblins, Trolls and (gulp) even a Dragon. This show also features staged battles and magic, as well as some theatrical effects (water-based stage haze and fog, flashing lights).
