Way Off Broadway Theatre Announces Auditions for “PUFFS” by Matt Cox

PRATTVILLE, Ala. — Way Off Broadway Theatre is thrilled to announce open auditions for PUFFS, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic, a hilarious, fast-paced comedy by Matt Cox.
Auditions will be held Sunday, July 20, at 6:30 pm and Monday, July 21, at 6:30 pm. Callbacks, if needed, will take place on Tuesday, July 22, at 6:30 pm. Performances are scheduled to run September 18 through October 5, 2025. The show is directed by Alex Rikerd.
You’ve heard the story of the boy wizard who conquered evil. This… is not that story.
PUFFS tells the tale of the loyal, well-meaning Puffs—students at a certain magical school who were simply trying to survive seven increasingly dangerous years of spells, curses, and enchanted mishaps without getting hurt (or worse, expelled). This inventive and laugh-out-loud adventure is perfect for anyone who has ever felt like a secondary character in someone else’s epic.
The production calls for a high-energy ensemble cast of 7 to 11 adult performers (ages 16+). All roles are open. The director is seeking bold, versatile performers with strong comedic timing and the ability to bring quirky, memorable characters to life.
Audition details:
- Actors will read selected sides from the script; no monologues required.
- Rehearsals begin August 11 and will take place weekday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
- Tech rehearsals are mandatory and scheduled for September 14–17, from 6 to 10 p.m.
- Performances will run September 18 through October 5.
