Piedmont Players Theatre presents ‘Puffs’ by Matt Cox
Published 12:00 am Saturday, December 2, 2023
SALISBURY — “Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic” is a 2015 original play by New York-based playwright Matt Cox. The play is a parody of the Harry Potter book series by J. K. Rowling, but from the perspective of the Puffs, who were inspired by the Hogwarts house, Hufflepuff.
In this parody of a familiar story, three potential heroes are 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. Even if you know nothing about the original story, you will love this gut-busting romp.
Piedmont Players Theatre’s cast includes: Kristina Blake, Asha Brown, Corina Childs, Sava Cook, Nick Culp, Brayden Daugherty, Jonathan Ewart, Maxwell Greger, Daniel Keith, Peter Liuzzo, Jonathan Lodgek, Manisha Parekth and Mari Scronce.
The producing partner is Eric Slipp.
