Jennifer Goldman, D.D.S. and Amy Thu Tran, D.D.S. Present Puffs

(Or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a

Certain School of Magic and Magic)

Opening Friday, October 18

Purchase Tickets HERE

Puffs is a perfect way to spend an afternoon or evening with friends!

The countdown has begun and we can't wait for this wonderfully witty show to open! You may know about a certain boy wizard who went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil...but this isn't his story, it's that of the Puffs, who just happened to be there, too!

Puffs (or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic), written by Matt Cox, offers a comedic and fresh take on a familiar magical world, retelling the story from the perspective of the underdog students in the "Puff" house at a certain wizarding school. We sure you'll find this a hilarious parody that even those who haven't followed the "certain" story we reference, will love. Perfectly cast, you'll enjoy the many unique characters as their stories play out on our historic stage.

Please Note: While infrequent, Puffs does contain some adult language and references to adult situations. Audience and parental discretion is advised-learn more specifics about the content on our website.

Opening Night Festivities

Don't forget that on opening night (THIS Friday, 10/18), immediately after the show, we'll have a reception in Heritage Plaza to celebrate our actors, crew, and everything we love about the production. You will be treated to fabulous themed appetizers from Kitchen 428, cake from Timothy's Bakery, a magical mocktail bar, entertainment, and much more! The reception is also a signing event for our “hot off the presses” 2023-2024 Season Yearbooks. Branded Opera House pens and Puffs stickers will be available to get signatures and to decorate your copy!

Purchase your yearbook that evening at the theatre, and if you already have one, bring it along! Order your copy ahead of time HERE.
