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. 

Based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien

Come on over and join the fun—play Hanafuda with your fellow community members! We’re excited to let you know that after a summer break, we’re back with this program. We have several Hanafuda decks available during the event, on a first-come, first-served basis, for anyone eager to play. It’s a great chance to meet new friends, challenge yourself, and just have a good time! If you’ve learned how to play Hanafuda from Helen Nakano and her Sensei, now’s your moment to practice those skills in a friendly game.

This will be a relaxed, self-directed play session—no formal instructions will be provided. However, we’ll have instruction sheets available for those interested in learning more about this wonderful game. Everyone, no matter your experience level, is welcome to join! Just a quick note: young children should be accompanied by an adult. For more info, feel free to contact us at (808) 733-8422 or ask at the Kaimukī Public Library Adult Reference Desk. We look forward to seeing you there!
