Description:

The Theater is hosting auditions for "Puffs". Please check below the requirements. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: For seven years a very famous boy wizard went to a certain Wizarding School and fought evil. This is…not his story. This is the story of the Puffs, a group of sweet, gentle youngins who were also physically present during these evil happenings – just not as important. Puffs is a hilarious parody of everything nonsensical about wizarding stories, and a celebration of all the things we love about them. Puffs is not authorized, licensed, or endorsed by any wizard, author, or movie company that shall not be named.
