O.C.'s Maverick Theatre Closes THE HOBBIT, 9/17

The Maverick Theatre is bringing to the stage THE HOBBIT, the enchanting first installment of J.R.R. Tolkien's middle earth saga (and prelude to The Lord of the Rings). Director Nathan Makaryk's inspired use of visual effects produces mammoth creatures within touch of the audience, and maintains the high-stakes tone for title character Bilbo Baggins' journey across Middle Earth.

THE HOBBIT follows the dwarves' quest to take back their gold and silver, stolen by the menacing dragon, Smaug. Bilbo, a simple, timid hobbit is recruited as official burglar by the wizard Gandalf. Along their way, they encounter fantastical and daunting enemies, as well as run-ins with unexpected rivals. And Bilbo Baggins' discovery of a magic ring paves the way for the epic adventure yet to come. Using all elements of theatrics and stage combat, director Makaryk heaps a pulsing plenty of edge-of-your-seat action into the audience.

Directed by Nathan Makaryk, THE HOBBIT opens August 6th and runs through September 17th, with performances on Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 p.m. and Saturday matinees at 3:00 p.m. starting Aug 14th.

Tickets for 8:00 p.m. shows are $20, Matinee $15. Students with a current ID are $10.

The Maverick Theater is located at 110 E. Walnut, Fullerton, CA 92832, across from the Amtrak station in historic Downtown Fullerton.
