Creating quality theatre for young people since 2004
Puffs Character Synopsis
Some, if not most, of the characters are double, triple, and tetra cast among a smaller number of actors.
Wayne Hopkins: A boy who grew up believing he was special, but realizes that no matter what he does, he isn’t seen as a main character. A hero in his own right.
Oliver Rivers: Not a talented magician, but a truly gifted “math-a-magician”. He never seems to do anything right in this new and magical world, except get the girl of course.
Megan Jones: The girl of the trio. She wants to follow in the footsteps of her evil mother but realizes that maybe her friends are better role models.
Narrator: Our magical guide through the tale, and a scholarly fellow.
Ernie Mac: An enthusiastic student who’s practically the best.
Hannah: A shy a quite pathetic girl who gets bullied quite often.
J. Finch Fletchley: A student who always refers to themselves in the third person. May or may not be real.
Leanne: The wacky one of the lot, and who is super energetic. Those are the only two consistent aspects of her character.
Sally Perks: Sally is legally blind and needs her glasses desperately. It seems a shame that people only hang around her when she takes them off…odd.
Susie Bones: An orphan who lives with her aunt, Susie’s family were all targeted by evil magic users. Hopefully she can keep her composure.
Cedric: The coolest guy around. A great mentor and friend. I sure hope nothing bad happens to him.
Uncle Dave: Wayne’s uncle. He raises Wayne in Cattlepoke Springs, New Mexico. He and Wayne don’t talk much, but things seemed to have worked out fine.

Professor McG: A strict old lady who can transform into a cat.
