Open Auditions
Puffs, or: Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic
PUFFSYou know the wizarding world. You know the heroes.
Puffs tells everyone else's magical story.
Wayne, Oliver, and Megan get sorted into the “least impressive” house at a magical school and spend seven years surviving chaos, disasters, and epic events happening just offstage. While others save the world, the Puffs survive it. It's loud, funny, and surprisingly moving.
Ages 10–17. No experience required. Beginners are totally welcome and encouraged to attend!

CASTINGHow Casting Works
To be considered for a role in the first cast, you need to audition in-person at PaperMap on March 21 or 22. If you can't make either date, reach out to richie@papermaptheater.com before auditions to make alternate arrangements -- we'll do our best to work with you.
Cast notifications go out within a few days of auditions. Any remaining ensemble spots are filled at the first rehearsal on April 13, but roles are prioritized intentionally from the live audition dates. Our goal is to be as welcoming as possible to the entire community of performers, regardless of experience level.
Every PaperMap performer receives a unique performance experience we are proud to offer in Thornton Park. This show only works when everyone is in it together!
