Lionheart's 'The Hobbit' Sells out

Famed Fantasy artist Jef Murray appears at final show.

Lionheart Theatre Company is on a roll--or at least some Hobbit seed cake. Norcross' community theatre version of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" played to standing-room only crowds last week. The success follows last month's sell-out of 12 straight shows of "Fiddler on the Roof." Audience members got a special treat after the last show Sunday when famed fantasy artist Jef Murray signed his new 2013 Middle-Earth Calendar as well as show posters. Murray donated the artwork for the show poster. Did you see "The Hobbit" at Lionheart? Tell us about it in the comments. See also: Don’t miss any Norcross news.
