Lee's Theatre, 1426 W 53rd St. in Anderson, will present J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit October 19-21 and 26-28. The Hobbit is the story that started it all. It gives rise to all of the adventures to come in Tolkien's Lord of the Ring stories. In The Hobbit, Bilbo, one of the most conservative of all Hobbits, 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—and for the hearts of all the children and adults who continue to enjoy this kind of magic. Showtimes are Fridays/Saturdays at 7pm and Sundays at 3pm and tickets are $9 for adults, $8 for seniors 55 and up, and $7 for children 12 and under. Tickets may be purchased at Lee's Theatre ( 765-644-5337) or online at www.leestheater.com.
