Thetford Academy Presents: Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at

a Certain School of Magic and Magic

Thetford, VT — Thetford Academy’s Performing Arts Department proudly announces its fall

theater production of Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic

and Magic, a fast-paced, funny, and heartwarming reimagining of a familiar magical story—from

the perspective of the loyal and often overlooked students known as the Puffs.

Written by Matt Cox, Puffs tells the story of Wayne Hopkins, an ordinary boy from New Mexico

who discovers he’s a wizard and is sorted into the most loyal—and often least celebrated—house at a certain school of magic. Over seven increasingly chaotic years, Wayne and his friends navigate spells, friendship, heartbreak, and epic battles while trying to find their place in a world overshadowed by a more famous hero. With quick humor, clever storytelling, and heartfelt moments, Puffs celebrates the underdogs and reminds us that being a Puff can be truly extraordinary.

Join Thetford Academy for a spellbinding weekend of laughter, magic, and heart as the Puffs

prove that even the underdogs can be heroes.

Performances will take place in the Thetford Academy Theater on:

● Friday, November 21 at 7:00 PM

● Saturday, November 22 at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM

● Sunday, November 23 at 3:00 PM
