The Hobbit at the MVMMS

The Melrose Veterans Memorial Middle School Drama Club proudly presents a stage adaptation of J.R. Tolkien’s classic fantasy tale, The Hobbit, on Thursday, February 9th at 7pm, Friday, February 10th at 7pm and Saturday, February 11th at 2pm and 5pm.

The play will be performed at the state of the art Melrose Veterans Memorial Middle School Performing Arts Center located at 350 Lynn Fells Parkway in Melrose.  The show is directed by Brent Bueno with technical direction by David McCall and includes a cast and crew of over 30 students from the Middle School.

The Hobbit tells the story of Bilbo Baggins, one of the most conservative of all Hobbits, who is asked to leave his large, roomy and very dry home in the ground in order to set off as chief robber in an attempt to recover an important treasure. It's the last thing that any sensitive Hobbit would want to do, but great benefit eventually results—not only for Bilbo but for all of the Hobbits who inhabit Middle Earth. This show will warm the hearts of all who continue to enjoy this kind of magic and is appropriate for all ages.
