In a certain famous Wizard School, a group of young wizards embark on an adventure as they learn magic and the power of friendship. Three potential heroes fight to survive magic school with the help of their friends, the loyal underdogs known as the Puffs. With hilarious references to a particular story about another wizard hero, Puffs blasts through 7 years of wizard school, following both recognizable and new characters. This show includes moments of improvisation, dance, and fight choreography.

“Puffs has two of my favorite things: big bold characters and a focus on ensemble,” says director Laura Wesslund. “Students onstage and off get to create imaginative characters and build a unique wizarding world.  I’ve enjoyed collaborating with a hardworking team of students and staff to bring this creative story to life onstage.  I hope our quirky wizard adventure brings audiences some healing laughter and much needed respite from our challenging times.”
