The theatre is performing Puffs. What is a Puff you ask? I am not sure if I can actually tell you, but I can at least try to help. It has nothing to do with pastries or some type of smoke. It is an entertaining show with wonderful cast members, a decent set, and plenty of props and costumes. We will bring out the red carpet, velvet rope, and fire up the popcorn machine.

See, we are legally bound to play this game of taboo. I’ll beat around the bush to help you understand. There is this boy. One who I cannot mention his name or tell you where he is from, but he happens to be wizardly. If I really tell you about him it may cause some trouble with our legal department. This is not just some Tom, Dick, or Harry we are talking about. Well, it could be one of those, but I will let you do the guessing just in case.

I’ll give you a little more since you are willing to read this far. This magic guy went to school and he sort of took over. Like really took over. Enough so that he is on everything. Backpacks, mugs, posters, capes, and underwear. This dude has his own amusement park named after him, for heaven’s sake. You can’t go anywhere without seeing some paraphernalia of… Ha, you aren’t going to catch me saying it, but I think you get the gist.

If you think about it, you probably know of a magical school. Well, there are these kids there and they might not have been as popular or cool. Let’s say they were so unpopular they may have never been mentioned in any book or movie. It’s not fair they are left out, their story is just as important. That’s where Puffs comes in. A wise adaptation of some stuff we can’t mention, that gives you a humorous look at the people from a franchise that just happened to be around.
