PORT TOWNSEND — Port Townsend’s OCEAN K-12 School will present a stage production of “The Hobbit” with performances at 7 p.m. Thursday and 2 p.m. Sunday as well as at 7 p.m. March 21 and March 22, plus a final matinee performance at 2 p.m. March 23.
All five performances will be in the Erickson building at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, 4907 Landes St., Port Townsend.
Admission to all shows is by donation at the door.
The play, based on the 1937 fantasy novel by J.R.R. Tolkien, will feature performers from the school’s second through 12th grades.
The production, directed by Marc Weinblatt, features costumes by Libby Wennstrom, giant puppets and shadow puppetry under the guidance of puppetmasters Celia Fulton-Walden and Thaddeus Jurczynski and live music led by Kristin Smith.
The Port Townsend School District’s OCEAN program is a hybrid homeschool and in-person program.
The producers advise that some scenes may be scary to very young children.
