A new take on a classic story: This weekend, Puffs is playing at Corn Stock Theatre. For seven years a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs… who just happened to be there too. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world. Get your tickets now!
