Audition for The Hobbit, December 4-5

Auditions:
December 4-5, 2026

Step into the world of Middle Earth by auditioning for Community Theatre of Howell’s The Hobbit. The Hobbit is a suspenseful, fast-paced journey through Middle Earth, based on the classic novel by J.R.R. Tolkien. Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who enjoys tales of adventure, has no desire to experience one himself. So when the wizard Gandalf arrives at his door with thirteen dwarves and a contract to reclaim the lost treasure of the Lonely Mountain, Bilbo is far from interested—at first. However, his love of a good story gets the better of him. Before long, he finds himself swept into a perilous quest, encountering Gollum, goblins, and a dragon along the way.
