Please Note

Puffs, like the source material it parodies, can be considered PG-13. It features some adult language and situations. There are also several improvised sections that will vary in content each night. We leave it up to parents to decide for themselves if this show is right for those under the age of 13. Younger wizards may learn some new curses.

Hands down, the very best way you can save money on Jobsite shows is with one of our season ticket packages.

What It's About

For seven years a Certain Boy Wizard went to a Certain School and conquered evil. You Know Who He Is.

This is not his story, sorry, but that of those who also happened to be there, too.

Puffs is a play for anyone who has never been destined to save the world, for anyone who has ever felt like a secondary character in someone else’s story! This clever show “never goes more than a minute without a laugh” (Nerdist) offering a new look at a familiar adventure from the perspective of three potential heroes just trying to place fourth at a very dangerous magic school for kids. Overlooked and underestimated, the Puffs are a perky, well-meaning, loyal group of 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 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, Funko Pops, or play. You Know Who is not making a shiny red penny off of this show in any way.

There are dozens of us! DOZENS! Heyyyyyy Uncle Father Oscar. Well excuse me, Judge Reinhold! It’s Sunday, but screw it — juice box time. I’ve always been deeply passionate about nature. Perhaps you remember Neuterfest? I’ll never forget your wedding. Well excuse me, Judge Reinhold! It’s Sunday, but screw it — juice box time. I’ve always been deeply passionate about nature.
