This is definitely the show to gather the entire family for. Children of all ages will marvel at the stage set, costumes, character changes and delightful story of cooperation and friendship. Bring the entire clan and share a wonderful holiday treat as you root for the good guys and boo the bad ones. This is a treasure not to be missed.

“The Hobbit” may be considered children’s literature, but that does not mean that it is childish, which is one of the many reasons that it resonates with varied audiences. Dobama’s production is theatrically sound, and when approached from a children’s theater lens, you’re not likely to be disappointed. However, for the Tolkien fans eager to revisit Middle-earth this holiday season (of which there will be no shortage), it is important to temper expectations and realize that “fun for the whole family” might not be as fun for everyone.

Dobama Theatre’s “The Hobbit” doesn’t just spark your imagination; it depends on it. Director Erin E. Dolan invites audiences to help picture what can’t fully appear in a 139-seat black box: galloping horses, dozens of characters and creatures, a dragon bigger than the theater itself. The result feels like a bit of stage magic, conjured in real time by everyone in the room.
