Puffs was written by Matt Cox and first performed in New York in 2015 before becoming a popular choice for schools and community theatres. The play retells seven years at a certain school of magic through its loyal, overlooked Puffs, with fast scene changes that depend heavily on a prepared sound crew. As licensed productions spread, students shared cues and recordings online for rehearsals, which is how short production sounds like this one began circulating beyond a single cast and crew.
