ST. CLOUD – The GREAT Theatre Company is back, and this time, they’re staging the world famous J.R.R. Tolkien novel, “The Hobbit.” 
The intricately staged and lit production follows the adventures of hobbit Bilbo Baggins, as he travels through Tolkien’s imaginary Middle Earth with a cast of characters, including elves, dwarves and wizards.
Kerry Kopp is the St. Cloud Tech High School Theater director, who also plays Gandalf the Grey – the wizard who leads Bilbo’s journey.
Kopp says he, along with one of his theater students, Jonah Meyer, are big fans of the novel. So, they auditioned for the show together.
