Puffs: Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic, runs at Orcas Center for six shows only from February 28 – March 9. Directed by Jamey Moriarty and staring an all-local cast, you won’t want to miss this gem on the main stage!
Puffs is a delightful and hilarious play from Matt Cox that takes a playfully satirical look at the world of magic through the eyes of the often-overlooked group of students…who also happened to attend school at the same time as a certain, very famous, boy wizard.
Cleverly referencing and parodying many familiar tropes from the illustrious wizarding universe, but from the perspective of those who are not necessarily the heroes of the story, the show’s charm lies in its humor, its lighthearted yet heartfelt moments, and the way it presents the Puffs’ adventures with endearing sincerity.
With sharp wit, endearing characters, and moments of genuine emotional resonance, Puffs is a fun and memorable experience for both fans of the magical world and newcomers alike. An original comedy that takes place in a familiar world, but ultimately a world of its own creation, Puffs celebrates being the underdog and finding your own magic in life.

We at Orcas Center have been making a conscious effort to reduce waste and preserve natural resources where we can.
From big infrastructure projects like solar panel installation, to everyday mindful use like remote-controlled HVAC, we’re doing what we can to make sure our tiny island’s resources are available for generations to come!
We’re proud that we haven’t had printable programs since The Rocky Horror Picture Show in 2019 – over half a decade ago! But, we also understand the joy and nostalgia that comes with having a program to preserve these special moments in time. And so, we’ve pivoted to a new procedure of online programs for our larger community shows.

We hope you enjoy this effort, and look forward to seeing you at the show!
