Photos by Amy Wenger ABOVE LEFT: Members of the North Wood High School Performing Arts troupe presented a spirited version of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit" this past weekend. In this opening scene from the production, the great wizard Gandalf (Dylan

Maugel) discusses his plans for a grand adventure with the rather reluctant hobbit, Bilbo Baggins (Sarah Foster). ABOVE RIGHT: In this particular scene, Bilbo Baggins (Sarah Foster, first in back), talks about her plan to literally send her band of dwarves down the river by sealing them in barrels for the treacherous ride. In front, from left, are Bofur (Priscilla Diaz), Dori (Kennedy Kuhn), Gloin (Gretchen Ellsworth), and Dwalin (Amelia Allen). In back, sealing the first barrel, is Thorin (Josue Diaz). RIGHT: Members of the cast take a moment following a successful show to pose for a photo. Seated in front is Bilbo Baggins (Sarah Foster). Kneeling in the second row are Bombur (Delaney Shay), Gloin (Gretchen Ellsworth), and Dwalin (Amelia Allen). In

back are Nori (Emma Glover), Thorin (Josue Diaz), Balin (Otto Schlatter), Bofur (Priscilla Diaz), Kili (Hannah Wenger), Fili (Morgan Berry), Bifur (Maddie Bailey), and Dori (Kennedy Kuhn).
