Not All Wizards are Destined to Save the World…See the Story of Those Who Didn’t

The tale has been told about a certain young wizard who attended a well-known wizarding school and ultimately saved the world from evil. This is not his story. This is the story of Wayne Hopkins, Oliver Rivers, and Megan Jones – three Puffs who just happened to be there too but were not destined to save the world. On Oct. 31, for one night only, the Reinhardt community is invited to see “Puffs” in the University Theater.
