PUFFS is a tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world. 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. This clever and inventive play gives 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. Their hilariously heartfelt and epic journey takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a wizard hero can be.

In partnership with Zeider’s American Theatre, A Hair Out of Square Theatre Company presents PUFFS!. Live in Virginia Beach, Friday through Sunday, July 16, 17, & 18 at 7:30 pm with possible matinees at 3:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday, July 17 & 18. Streaming dates TBA.

The world’s longest-running musical tells the story of two neighbors who trick their children, Luisa and Matt, into falling in love by pretending to feud. A mysterious narrator and metaphorical lyrics will draw you into their world. This imaginative allegory promises to send you home humming the tunes from this wonderfully inventive score, featuring such songs as “Try to Remember,” “Never Say No,” and “Soon It’s Gonna Rain.”

In this classic melodrama set in the New York of the 1850s, shy and plain-looking, “unmarriageable” Catherine lives alone with her wealthy and overprotective father, Dr. Sloper. When she falls desperately in love with a penniless – and mysterious – new suitor, her father suspects a con and threatens her disinheritance should they marry. Eventually, Catherine must decide whether her new love is a schemer or a savior worth risking it all.

Russian playwright (and medical doctor) Anton Chekov is known for his 19th-century family dramas, but he also wrote some hilarious short stories. Comedy genius Neil Simon has translated these stories into an evening of comedy gold. Through the invention of a frustrated writer serving as narrator, the stories unfold as a series of vignettes – some charming, some touching, but all, uproariously funny.
