This clever and inventive play 'never goes more than a minute without a laugh'"

By Matt Cox • Original Music Composed by Brian Hoes at The Shea's Smith Theatre - January 28 through February 13, 2022

For seven years, a certain boy wizard went to a certain wizardry school and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs, who just happened to be there too. PUFFS: or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic is a hilarious comedy by Matt Cox, that follows a group of well-meaning magical misfits during the times of that certain boy wizard.

PUFFS tells the story of an "ordinary" young man, Wayne Hopkins, who finds out he's a wizard and travels to a certain school of magic, where he is placed in the "Puffs," a group of loyal and good-intentioned misfits. Over the course of his seven years at the school, he gets thrown into situations both dangerous and ridiculous. Between learning magic, trying not to get lost or hurt in the labyrinths of the school, and attempting to avoid his four-eyed nemesis, Wayne, and the rest of the characters, take us on a magical journey unlike any we've ever experienced.

PUFFS is directed by Joey Bucheker and the talented cast includes Kris Bartolomeo, Mike Benoit, Marissa Biondolillo, Nathanial Higgins, Christian Hines, Sabrina Kahwaty, Nicholas Lama, Daniel Lendzian, Gabrielle Nunzio, Jenn Stafford, and David Wysocki. Standby/Swings: Vincent Murphy and Stefanie Warnick. The production crew includes: Alley Griffin, Stage Manager & Properties Designer;
