Theatre 319 is looking for interested actors to audition for their upcoming production of Puffs (Auditions and Rehearsals will be at 15130 S RTE 59, Plainfield IL
Tech and Performances will be at 349 Gladstone Ave, Aurora, IL)
Synopsis:
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. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world. Puffs is not authorized, sanctioned, licensed or endorsed by J.K Rowling, Warner Bros. or any person or company associated with the Harry Potter books, films or play.
List of characters:
Wayne, Oliver, Megan, and Narrator play only their roles. All others play multiple roles.
Wayne Hopkins- The hero and heart of the show. Loyal to a tee. Likes comic books and video games, knows nothing about magic or this weird magic world he is now a part of. Best friends with Oliver and Megan.
Oliver Rivers- One of the main trio. Incredibly smart and cerebral, he is a math-obsessed outsider who never quite gets the hang of wizard life.
Megan Jones- One of the main trio. Rebel with a tragic backstory. Favorite store: Hot Topic. Favorite color: black. Equal parts snark, swagger, and unexpected depth.
Narrator- The narrator of the story. She/he guides us through our entire show of Puffy-ness. British accent. Can be a bit of a know-it-all, but still relatable and appealing.
Ernie Mac- Proud. Loud. Pretty sure he?s the best.
Leanne- A little distant. A little random. Is possibly a genius or really, really stupid. But has a really strong heart. The Puffiest of the Puffs.
Hannah- Shy. Very shy.
J. Finch Fletchley- Boyish & fun. Chipper and happy except, when his life is in mortal danger.
Sally Perks- She goes to school here
Susie Bones- Sad. Gloomy. Think Eeyore from ?Winnie the Pooh.? Constantly in fear of her or her family dying.
Cedric/Mr. Voldy- Cedric in Act I and Mr. Voldy in Act II. Cedric: A champion. Athletic, winning, popular, and charming. Everyone?s favorite, but still loyal, patient, and kind. A leading example of a Puff. Mr. Voldy: Evil. Like, reeeaaally evil. Wants to rule the world in shadows and darkness and terror
