The Hobbit
by Tim Ruland, Pinedale Fine Arts Council
January 20, 2010

The Pinedale Fine Arts Council presented "The Hobbit" on Friday Jan. 15 in the Pinedale Auditorium. The production was performed by Theatre Sans Fil (theatre without strings), a French-Canadian company from Montreal. The classic story was presented using giant puppets which were controlled by puppeteers wearing all black. The show also featured intense lighting and booming sound giving all those in attendance their money's worth.
