Hi All,

OK, the website for the CSD events is super hard to navigate.  Turns out the murder mystery is in October while we are at convention.  The play that is offered at CV is described as:
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. The New York New York Times proclaims PUFFS, “A FAST-PACED ROMP through the ‘Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic.’ For POTTERphiliacs who grew up alongside Potter and are eager to revisit that world, ‘PUFFS’ exudes a jovial, winking fondness for all things Harry!”
This clever and inventive play “never goes more than a minute without a laugh” (Nerdist) giving you 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. Alongside them are the Puffs, a group of well-meaning, loyal outsiders with a thing for badgers “who are so lovable and relatable, you’ll leave the theater wishing they were in the stories all along” (Hollywood Life). Their “hilariously heartfelt!” (Metro) and epic journey takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a boy wizard hero can be.
Running Time: 1 hour 45 minutes

I still think it would be fun to go.  I suggest I buy tickets online for everyone because the website is hard to navigate and the last time I had to get sighted assistance to complete the purchase.  There is not assigned seating, but I don’t want to risk that it will be sold out.

Let me know what you think, and if you are up for going on Friday 11/22   at 7 pm
