Show Synopsis:
Bilbo Baggins is a comfortably well-off hobbit with a love for rousing adventure stories. Real adventures, however, are definitely not his cup of tea. So when Gandalf the wizard knocks at Bilbo’s door, bringing with him Thorin Oakenshield, 11 ragged looking dwarfs and a contract for an adventure to recover the lost treasure of Lonely Mountain, Bilbo could not be less interested—at first. But Bilbo’s love of a good story gets the better of him, and before he knows it, he is off on a perilous quest over mountain and under hill through caves and forest and slimy dark places.
Character descriptions (Sides Available):
Bilbo Baggins - A Hobbit. He is a laid back gentleman, a fish out of water in the show. However, he surprises the audience and himself by his resourcefulness throughout the adventure. Driven not by greed or power but for what is right.
Gandalf - A Wizard. A trickster sorcerer who sees the potential in Bilbo and calls him to adventure. He serves as an advisor to the characters in the show.
Thorin Oakenshield - Leader of the Dwarves. He is driven by his birthright to reclaim what was taken from him and can, in that drive, put others at risk to achieve his goal.
Gollum - A Nocturnal Creature who has been driven mad and given a long life by the Ring of Power. He has dwelled in the caves of the Misty Mountains for over a century. Will kill without thought and do anything for his precious.
Smaug - A Dragon who is greedy and evil. He has conquered the Lonely Mountain and its treasure from the Dwarves. Powerful. Voice only.
Bard & Maxwell - Humans. Men who become leaders of Laketown who stand up to Smaug and Thorin

Show Synopsis:
9 to 5, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, is based on the seminal 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic.
Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she?
