The Little Theatre of New Smyrna Beach announces a series of WonderLand Summer Camps for Summer 2013.

A summer camp for 8 to 14 year olds:

“The Hobbit Adventure” A play by Edward Mast, adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel, is a suspenseful, fast-moving journey through the sometimes dark, sometimes charming, always compelling world of Middle Earth. Bilbo Baggins is a comfortably well-off hobbit with a love for rousing adventure stories. Real adventures, however, are definitely not his cup of tea. So when Gandalf the wizard knocks at Bilbo’s door, bringing with him Thorin Oakenshield, 11 ragged looking dwarfs, and a contract for an adventure to recover the lost treasure of Lonely Mountain, Bilbo is not interested, at first. But Bilbo’s love of a good story gets the better of him, and before he knows it, he is off on a perilous quest over mountain and under hill through caves and forest and slimy dark places.

Parents and friends are invited to final shows.

Enrollment is limited and pre-registration is required. Limited financial aid may be available.
