Auditions for PUFFS at Valley Youth Theatre announced for December 9 & 10
Valley Youth Theatre is holding auditions for “PUFFS” the hilariously heart-filled parody play (not a musical!) that proves you don’t need to be the Chosen One to be unforgettable.
"PUFFS (or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic)" follows a group of not-so-famous students who just want to survive wizard school, make a few friends, and maybe learn a spell or two along the way.
Directed by VYT Alum David Chorley, who is seeking actors with excellent comedic timing and maybe a little improv magic, too!
Auditions:
Tuesday, December 9 & Wednesday, December 10 at 4:00 p.m.
Valley Youth Theatre
525 N. 1st St., Phoenix
Open to youth ages 19 & under — no fees, no ticket quotas, just pure VYT magic.
Audition details & preregistration: vyt.com/section/auditions
