“Step into a world of magic, mayhem, and misfits in the uproarious play “PUFFS”! Join Wayne, Megan, and Oliver, three ordinary students at a certain magical school, as they navigate their way through the ups and downs of being in the “Puffs” house. While that boy with the lightning bolt on his forehead is off saving the wizarding world with his red-haired buddy and a girl with a strange name, this lovable trio finds themselves in the most hilarious and heartwarming misadventures.

The press release continues, “Building on the tradition of outstanding student performances, ‘PUFFS’ boasts a cast and crew of more than 30 incredibly talented students from Sanford High School. With spellbinding special effects and lighting, the students are bringing the magic to life in a way that’s sure to delight Potterdheads and everyone else looking for a good laugh.”

Student Salem Brown, who plays Oliver, shares, “I love this show because it’s so funny, and every performance is a little different! But it’s also very challenging because it’s so fast-paced. We’re having so much fun!”

“We are not a threat! Please be our friend!”
