The story of The Hobbit follows Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving hobbit who is unexpectedly swept into an epic adventure alongside a company of dwarves and the wizard Gandalf. Along the way, he encounters trolls, goblins, dragons, and the mysterious Gollum, discovering courage and resilience he never knew he possessed.

In a bold and playful theatrical feat, The Hobbit is brought to life by just five actors who transform everyday objects into dragons, dwarves, goblins, and epic landscapes. Set inside “Tutu’s garage,” the production celebrates the ingenuity of local storytelling and serves as a heartfelt tribute to the make-believers—those who understand that imagination can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

This production also marks a major milestone: the 55th anniversary of the Theatre for Young Audiences program at UH Mānoa. Founded in 1971 by Tamara Montgomery as Children’s Theatre (later known as Youth Theatre), the program has spent more than five decades inspiring young audiences and training generations of actors, directors, puppeteers, teaching artists, and arts leaders who have gone on to enrich communities throughout Hawai‘i, the nation, and
beyond.

In honor of this legacy, all proceeds from The Hobbit will support a newly established University of Hawai‘i Foundation account dedicated to sustaining and strengthening the TYA program for future
generations.

Artists statement: Over the last few years, I've explored and photographed the waters surrounding Oʻahu with my Nikonos V, documenting the marine life and quiet moments I've encountered while freediving. I also photograph shells I've gathered from the same waters, extending the story of the ocean from beneath the surface to the traces it leaves behind. Together, these images move beyond the camera, allowing the natural world to remain part of each piece long after the photograph is taken.

Each piece begins as a photograph. I then transform the image into a large digital negative, which is contact printed onto hand-coated fine art paper and exposed in sunlight. One piece in this exhibition remains in its original Prussian blue state, while the others are toned using locally sourced botanicals.

The botanicals used to transform the prints are all sourced in Hawaiʻi and include noni leaves, coffee, haole koa bark, banana bracts, and hibiscus. Because each botanical reacts differently with the chemistry of the print, every piece develops in its own way, making each final work unique.

This collection is created through the natural elements of Hawaiʻi at every stage of the process—from the ocean where the photographs were made, to the sun that exposed each print, to the botanicals that transformed them. It is a body of work rooted in place, shaped by both intention and the quiet unpredictability of nature.

Discover the artistry, beauty, and soul of Hawaii’s Woodshow — where master craftsmen transform island-grown woods into breathtaking works of art. From bold contemporary pieces to timeless traditional craftsmanship, this celebrated exhibition brings together Hawaii’s finest wood artists for a vibrant showcase of creativity, culture, and aloha.

Tuesday to Sunday from 11am to 5pm. Closed Mondays.
