Prep Players theatre group performed its fall production, “Puffs,” at the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts on Nov. 11, 12 and 13, 2021. Everyone is familiar with a certain “Boy Wizard” who went to a Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, was not his story — it was the story of the Puffs... who just happened to be there, too.

“Puffs” was a tornado of a play that took the audience through all seven famous books with just 11 actors in 90 minutes. It gave a new look at a familiar adventure from the perspective of three potential heroes just trying to make it through a magic school, one which proves to be very dangerous for children. Alongside them are the Puffs, a group of well-meaning, loyal outsiders with a thing for badgers. Certainly, it was a tale for anyone who had never been destined to save the world.
