Join us for a hilarious time as the Teen Conservatory presents Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic! Opening on Saturday, May 11th, this clever play will run through May 16th.
A satirical take on the adventures of Mr. Potter, this play explores the untold story of the Puffs, a group of unlikely heroes navigating their way through their incredibly dangerous magic school!
This Potter spinoff is entirely unauthorized by J.K. Rowling, Warner Bros., and the Ministry of Magic, which only adds to its playfulness. Embracing all that is silly about its source material, Puffs is a blast and guaranteed to leave Harry fans rolling in the aisles.
