Announcing the cast of PUFFS — an Ignite! Readers Theater Booklight Production. Thank you to all who auditioned.

The New York Times proclaims PUFFS “A fast-paced romp through the ‘Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic.’ 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 “never goes more than a minute without a laugh” (NERDIST) giving you 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 “hilariously heartfelt!” (METRO) and epic journey takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a boy wizard hero can be.

PUFFS is not authorized, sanctioned, licensed, or endorsed by J.K Rowling, Warner Bros. or any person or company associated with the Harry Potter books, films or play.
