SHOW SYNOPSIS: 
Show Summary: This is the story of the Puffs, who were also there during those 7 years when that special boy fought that one evil wizard whose name we don’t say. They’re the forgotten group of loyal misfits who also attended a certain school of magic. This is the story of what happened during those 7 years, but from their perspective.
​
AUDITION WILL INCLUDE
MONOLOGUE: Please select two of the provided monologues to perform. Not all of the characters listed below will have a monologue to choose from; instead, we may ask you to stay and do a cold reading from the script. These monologues do not have to be fully memorized, but you do need to be familiar with them. Monologues can be found at www.artsgp.org/auditions and will be available by Wednesday, July 22nd at 8:00 PM.
​
POSSIBLE COLD READING: You may be asked to stay and read for another character or with another actor. We will try our best not to keep you more than 1 hour past your audition slot, but there’s a possibility that will happen. If you’re unable to stay, please let us know at the time of your audition. If you’re not asked to stay, this doesn’t mean you won’t receive a callback.
REHEARSALS: 
Begin Thursday, August 20th. From Aug 20th to September 12th, rehearsals are anticipated to be on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM, on Saturdays from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and on Sunday from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
​
Starting on September 14th, rehearsals are anticipated to be Monday through Thursday, 7:00 - 10:00 PM, and Saturday, 1:00 - 5:00 PM. Promotional photos will be taken on a Friday. This is subject to change and not set in stone. Tech week will start Sunday, October 11th. Please note that this is a fast-paced, true ensemble show, and we will most likely call everyone every day.
​
CONFLICTS:  A tentative calendar will be available at auditions. Please be sure to list ALL conflicts on your audition form, including days we do not specify we have rehearsals. Rehearsals are at GPAC's rehearsal space at the Veterans’ Park Event Center and move to the Uptown Theater two weeks before the show opens.
