  Puffs follows a certain boy wizard who went to a certain school and conquered evil. However, this is NOT his story. This is the story of the Puffs – who just happened to be there, too. 

   The New York Times called Puffs “a fast-paced romp,” noting that “for Potterphiliacs who grew up alongside Potter and are eager to revisit that world, Puffs exudes a jovial, winking fondness for all things Harry!”

 This clever and inventive play gives the audience a new look at a familiar adventure from the perspective of three potential heroes just trying to make it through a magic school that proves to be very dangerous for children.

   Alongside them are the Puffs, a group of well-meaning, loyal outsiders with a thing for badgers “who are so lovable and relatable, you’ll leave the theater wishing they were in the stories all along” (Hollywood Life). 

   Their epic journey takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a boy wizard hero can be.

    This show features a huge cast, including 50 Penn Manor student actors, and 30 crew members.
