Southeastern Louisiana University’s Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts and Southeastern Theatre have combined forces to present Matt Cox’s smash hit Off-Broadway comedy “Puffs or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic.”
Directed by Columbia Theatre Artistic Director Jim Winter, the production is scheduled in the downtown Hammond theatre on March 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, and 26 at 7 p.m. and March 13 and 20 at 2 p.m.
When describing the production, Winter said that although it is related to a certain boy wizard in a certain wizard school, it is not his story. Rather, it is the story of the Puffs, who just happened to be there too.
Cast members include Nico Arcuri of Killian as Wayne Hopkins, Louis Mangiaracina of Ponchatoula as Oliver Rivers, Hannah Diaz of Covington as Megan Jones, Lauren Price of Denham Springs as Narrator, Noah Weeg of Ponchatoula as Ernie Mac, Abby Richardson of Hammond as Hannah, Dylan Michelli of Ponchatoula as J. Finch, Harper Jacobs of Amite as Leanne, Ashtyn Monistere of Livingston as Sally Perks, Morgan Matheny of Hammond as Susie Bones, and Corey Saltaformaggio of Hammond as Cedric and Mr. Voldy.
Ticket prices are $25 for adults, $15 for students, and are available at the Columbia Theatre box office, located at 220 E. Thomas Street in downtown Hammond, or by calling 985-543-4371.
Winter added that tickets for Southeastern students are free but only available on-site on the days and nights of the performances.
