Flint Youth Theatre Presents: The Hobbit

August 8, 2025 2pm and 7pm

Dort Music Center Atrium Garden Stage

Flint School of Performing Arts production

By Edward Mast

Adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel

Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois

This 60-minute adaptation of Tolkien’s classic novel, designed for theatres of all sizes, is a suspenseful, fast-paced journey through the sometimes dark, sometimes charming, always compelling world of Middle Earth. Bilbo Baggins is a comfortably well-off hobbit with a love for rousing adventure stories. Real adventures, however, are definitely not his cup of tea. So when Gandalf the wizard knocks at Bilbo’s door, bringing with him Thorin Oakenshield, 11 ragged looking dwarfs and a contract for an adventure to recover the lost treasure of Lonely Mountain, Bilbo could not be less interested—at first. But Bilbo’s love of a good story gets the better of him, and before he knows it, he is off on a perilous quest over mountain and under hill through caves and forest and slimy dark places.

Approximately 60 minutes in length
