Rings: A Fellowship of Fools is a new stage production in Aurora, IL which will run from September 20-24th. From their website:
"This one-act production, written by Second City alumni Paul Bates and Lee Smart, follows two aspiring writers as they try to adapt the three-volume trilogy Lord of the Rings in to a one-act musical. Rings! combines satire, pop-culture parody and musings on the artist's life to hilarious effect. And unlike its inspiration, Rings! is only an hour long."
