A work expressly "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," Puffs is cheekily subtitled Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic. The shows offers audiences a new look at a familiar adventure from the perspective of three potential heroes just trying to make it through a magic school that proves to be very dangerous for children. It was a quick leap to settle this play’s focus on the 'Puffs,' whom pop culture has deemed the maybe-not-so-cool kids at this particular wizard school. Bringing Puffs to life at the Black Box are director Kailey Ackerman and co-director Kat Jecklin, castmates in Quad City Music Guild's 2018 production of A Grand Night for Singing, who also serve as their show's designers. Puffs runs at the Moline Theatre August 6 through 15, with performances Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.
