Hutsah
Hobbit
J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy, The
Hobbit, will be presented in the Aud
itorium on April 10, 1980, at 7:00 p.m.
The Hutsah Puppet Thearte will bring
dwarfs, elves, and trolls to life as part
of the two-hour prelude to Tolkien's
trilogy, The Lord of the Rings.
The six-member Hutsah Puppet
Theatre will manipulate more than 30
almost-life-size puppets. Rusty Steiger,
an actor and musician, directs the
troupe. Steiger composed the musical
score and ,built most of the puppets for
the show.
The troupe has also performed a
series of television commercials and
"Singing through the Trees," a child
ren's musical. The Hobbit, was chosen
for this performance because of its
popularity among college students.
"I think it's a shame that fantasy is
often set aside in adolescence in the
name of growing up and being cool.
Why is it appropriate for a kid to watch
a puppet show or a cartoon or play
kick-the-can, but not an adult?" asks
Steiger.
All ages can enjoy The Hobbit as
performed by the Hutsah Puppet
Theatre. Admission for the show is $l.
