Youth Theatre Northwest presents “The Hobbit”

Bilbo Baggins, a comfortably well-off hobbit with a love for rousing adventure stories is plucked out of his life when Gandalf the wizard knocks at Bilbo’s door, bringing with him Thorin Oakenshield, 13 ragged looking dwarfs, and a contract for an adventure to recover the lost treasure of Lonely Mountain. Before he knows it, he is off on a perilous quest over mountain and under hill through caves and forest and slimy dark places. This one-hour version of Tolkien’s classic novel is a suspenseful, fast-moving journey through the sometimes dark, sometimes charming, always compelling world of Middle Earth. YTN’s Improv Director Mike Lion is making his Summer Stock directorial debut on our Mainstage at Emmanuel Church.
