Puffs
Puffs by Matt Cox, Directed by Josh Rubin, and Tech Directed by Andy Bero is a comedic play by Matt Cox that parodies the Harry Potter series. The story follows a group of misfit students at a certain school of magic, focusing on Wayne Hopkins, a lovable underdog who is sorted into the Puff’s house, the house for the "other" students who aren't brave, smart, or evil enough to be Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, or Slytherins. Throughout the play, the Puffs face challenges and adventures that parallel events in the Harry Potter books, including encounters with a certain dark wizard, a deadly tournament, and a battle against evil forces. The play also explores themes of loyalty, friendship, and the importance of finding one's place in the world. The performances will be from April 20-22, 2023 and will accompany a dinner option with Harry Potter Trivia before the show. Dinner starts at 6PM and the performance starts at 7PM.
Hay Fever
Glenbard East Theatre is excited to present its Winter Play, ”Hay Fever,” by Noel Coward at 7:00 PM from February 16th through 18th in Rider Hall.
Synopsis: Set in an English country house on the River Thames, “Hay Fever” blends slapstick, satire, and a comedy of manners to present a unique portrait of the Bliss family, a wacky and endearing English family in the early 1920s. Each of the four members of the Bliss family has invited a guest to stay at the family estate for the weekend. This sets the stage for a series of raucous misunderstandings that only serve to underscore an unspoken but universal fact: The Blisses are anything but a “normal” family.
Tickets are $8 for students and seniors and $10 for adults.
