Festival Antigonish has announced they will be taking another large production to the forest this summer.
Organizers say after the success of their outdoor experiment in 2021 they will be putting on the largest production they have ever done.
Over 100 people will be involved in the creation of the show that will take place for three weeks in August at Keppoch Mountain.
This original adaptation of ‘The Hobbit, or There and Back Again’, will take the audience on a memorable journey through majestic forests and trails.
Audiences will follow the beloved wizard Gandalf, who will tell the story of a furry-footed hobbit named Bilbo Baggins who goes on an adventure and, despite constant cravings for the comforts of home, discovers courage, strength, and keen burglaring skills.
Bilbo battles trolls, spiders, and a giant dragon, in this extraordinary tale of how a small, seemingly insignificant hobbit can change the world.
Capacity will be limited for each performance so organizers recommend booking early.
Tickets will go on sale in April and more show details will be released in the weeks ahead.
All public health guidelines will be followed to ensure a safe environment for the artists and the audience.
