Trolls, goblins, and dragons, oh my!
Trolls, goblins, and dragons, oh my! For the first time on a CNY stage, the Fulton based multi-arts center brought an audience right to Middle Earth to get enchanted in an adaptation dramatized by Patricia Gray based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit. As mentioned in the director’s note, the undertaking of competing with a well-known novel and movie series is no small feat, especially when considering difficult scene changes involving dark and detailed set displays. However, a seemingly professional lighting system, a charismatic cast, and an interactive approach tackled the challenge head on.
