Inspired by a world-famous book series out of the UK, Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic, introduces audiences to a different perspective of the wizarding world you know. A boy discovers he’s a wizard and becomes a student at a school of magic and mystery. However, this boy is named Wayne Hopkins, and he is sorted as a “Puff.” The Puffs are a group of students focused on NOT fighting evil and just making it through magic school. Surviving high school is tough enough, bullies and all; now, add wicked warlocks and creepy cronies on top of studying and worrying about who you’ll take to the dance! Describing this play is challenging due to contract requirements that the famous wizard school student known around the world NOT be mentioned by name…ever.
Puffs (Two Act Edition) is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com.
