FSU’s Department of Theatre and Dance Presents “Puffs,” a Fast-Paced Parody Featuring Unlikely Heroes

Frostburg State University’s Department of Theatre and Dance will feature the comedy “Puffs,” or “Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic,” by Matthew Cox on Friday, Nov. 22, and Saturday, Nov. 23, and Thursday, Dec. 5, through Saturday, Dec. 7, at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee on Nov. 23 at 2 p.m. Directed by Darrell Rushton, performances will take in the F. Perry Smith Studio Theatre of FSU’s Woodward D. Pealer Performing Arts Center.

According to Nerdist, “Puffs” “never goes more than a minute without a laugh.”

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. This is a tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world, and as the magazine Time Out New York points out, “‘Puffs’ illustrates the heights to which underdogs can soar.”

The cast consists of Elena Echeandia (Narrator), Daniel Wade (Wayne), Grace Stevenson (Megan Jones), John Hollingsworth (Oliver), Caleb Friend (Cedric/Mr. Voldy), Finley Manocchio (Ernie Mac/Second Headmaster), Kassidy Andris (Hannah/Xavia Jones), TJ Kelly (J. Finch Fletchley/Zach Smith), Gracie Ray (Leanne/Frenchy), Casey Allison (Sally Perks/Bippy), Paige Brubaker (Susie Bones/Harry), Ian Donoway (understudy) and Kenzie Pein (understudy).

In addition to Rushton, creative team members include Matthew “George” Georgeson (technical director/scenic design), Colton Swauger (stage manager), Ronald Breitfeller (costume design), Sarah Slack (lighting design), Mackenzie Guynes (sound design), Casey Allison (properties designer), Shea-Mikal Green (intimacy director), Cheyenne Daisey (assistant stage manager) and Ian Claar (wand combat director).

“Puffs” is recommended for audiences 14 and older. Tickets to the comedy can be purchased online by visiting https://frostburgtix.universitytickets.com.
