PUFFS, Or: Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic
October 7,8 & 9 at 7:00 PM
PUFFS is a fast-paced, laugh-filled comedy that sprints through the ‘Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic’. This clever and inventive play never goes more than a minute without a laugh, giving you a new look at the Harry Potter adventure from the perspective of three other potential heroes just trying to make it through a magic school that proves to be very dangerous for children. The Puffs are a group of well-meaning, loyal misfits who are so lovable and relatable, you'll wish they were in the stories all along. Their hilariously heartfelt and epic journey takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a wizard hero can be. Tickets are $7.00 online and will also be available at the door for $10.00.
