(MONTCLAIR, NJ) -- For seven years a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs... who just happened to be there too. Aspire Performing Arts Company will present Puffs, Or: Seven Increasing Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic, October 6-7, 2023 at Theater 180 in Montclair.
Written by Matt Cox, Puffs is the ultimate underdog story. Wayne, the young (trying his best to be) wizard, and his two wizard friends, battle familiar villains alongside the other adorably underachieving members of a particularly underachieving house: the Puffs. This is a tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world.
Aspire PAC’s production of Puffs stars 18 talented performers from across New Jersey including Sarah Black, Nate Burwell, Francesca Coniglio, Miranda Courtright, Maya Gerstein, Kiera Greenhalgh, Nathan Kossoy, Rea Ladutke, Charlotte Luhrs, Daphne Luhrs, Alex McEnroe, Nicole Neyra, Rachel Perl, Jalan Royal, Andrew Sternberg, Anara Sullivan, Ezra Thiel, and Andrew Voza.
