​​​​​​​Weehawken High School Theater is excited to present Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic November 19th & 20th at 7pm in the Weehawken High School Auditorium in Weehawken, NJ.

'Puffs' at Birmingham Festival Theatre is a comedy that takes great liberties with the hit stories of a certain popular young wizard. An enchanted cast that is fearlessly rambunctious electrifies 'Puffs'. Director Kelsey Crawford's magic gets you under the spell of the show right from the jump. If you are a Harry Potter fan, 'Puffs' is a must see performance. Written by Matt Cox 'Puffs' focuses on this less notable house at the big school for wizards. It's not the house of the brave ones, the smart ones or the snakey ones. This is house of Puff! Home to the outcasts, weirdos, and lesser-known children at the Wizarding School who never get a second glance. They are gleeful to fail, and are never a threat. With Puffs, it's third or nothing!

Find out what the most popular plays and musicals were in high school according to Educational Theatre Association’s annual high school play survey.

“You can’t believe in nothing/If you’re caked in mud for something/Cuz we’re sewn inside each other”. “free bird” thrashes in, setting the tone pretty quickly for what the new album is all about.
