Audition Info

 
 

With our play performing in october, we need a pretty early start for rehearsals of our fall play. Which means auditions will happen the week of August 19th and Callbacks are tentatively scheduled for august 26th from 4:00 - 8:00 pm!

Play Information: Puffs for Young Wizards, or: Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic by Matt Cox

Genre: Comedy
Casting Size: 10 - 50 actors possible. (5 - 45f; 5-45m)
Description: 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. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world.

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’ excused a jovial, winking fondness for all things Harry!”

 
 

I encourage you to review the material of the production so you know what you are auditioning for! Though this production is age-appropriate the suspense and some content may be uncomfortable for some high school students to perform.

Take a moment with your family/guardian to review the Company Handbook. The last page of the handbook is the audition contract. This is due to Mrs. Sanford in person or via email by August 22nd.
