Review: PUFFS at DreamWrights Photo
Review: PUFFS at DreamWrights
by Sandra Harberger - Feb 9, 2025

The narrator (Zachary Claghorn) entertained as he kept the audience aware of what book was coming up and set the tone of the show. Our lead Puffs were Wayne (Westley Smith), Oliver (Acell Spencer), and Megan (Bryn Walker). These three worked well together and showed a range of emotions throughout the show. Madison Buckley played Cedric, Voldy, Uncle Dave, Prof Turban,  Zach Smith) and was hilarious with her strength in playing different characters and voices. I highly recommend you seeing “Puffs.” It was a fun show with lots of laughs.
