The hit off-Broadway comedy Puffs; or, Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic — currently running at New World Stages — has announced that, on Thursday, November 22, the play will be available for licensing and the script will be available for purchase. In addition, on the same day, fans will be able to download Puffs: Filmed Live Off Broadway — which Fathom Events premiered with a two-day national screening earlier this year — on iTunes, Amazon, and other digital platforms.

The play from Matt Cox is described as follows: "Some people are born with the capacity to do great things. Some people change the world. Some people rise from humble beginnings to defeat the forces of darkness in the face of insurmountable odds. Puffs is the story of the people who sit in class next to those people. Meet Wayne, a very average boy from New Mexico, who finds out he is a wizard…also, wizards are real. Join him and his new friends as they try to keep their heads down and get a basic wizarding education while a certain other famous boy with a very peculiarly shaped scar on his forehead sets out to make life at school increasingly…eventful.''

Kristin McCarthy Parker directs the cast of Lacy Allen, Michael Axelrod, Madeleine Bundy, Jessie Cannizzaro, Nick Carrillo, Broderick Clavery, Anna Dart, Kullan Edberg, Alex Haynes, Criena House, Reginald Keith Jackson, Jake Keefe, Sonia Mena, Andy Miller, Zac Moon, Keith Rubin, Stephen Stout, Leanne Velednitsky, and Harry Waller. Puffs has production and costume design by Madeleine Bundy, lighting design by Herrick Goldman, sound design by Matt Cox, and original music by Brian Hoes.
