Victoria School of the Arts presents Puffs—the hit off-Broadway comedy that flips the script on a certain famous wizarding world. Fast-paced, irreverent, and packed with heart, Puffs follows three underdog students who just happened to be sorted into the most overlooked house at a certain school of magic and magic. Over seven increasingly dangerous years, the Puffs do their best to stay out of trouble, stay alive, and maybe, just maybe…make their mark. With lightning-fast dialogue, absurd humour, and a visually striking set that brings magical mayhem to life, this unforgettable play offers a fresh, and unexpectedly moving journey through a hilarious version of the wizarding world.
This show features students in grades 9-12 and runs Thursday, April 23rd through Saturday, April 25th at 7 PM. Tickets are $20 - available through our website.
