Ages 14-Adult
By Matt Cox

Spotlight is presenting the Young Wizards Two Act version that is appropriate for all audiences.

You know the story of the famous young wizard… but this time, it’s told from the perspective of the students who were never the chosen ones. Puffs follows a group of well-meaning underdogs—loyal, awkward, and determined—trying to survive seven years at a certain magical school while the “heroes” get all the glory.

Fast, funny, and full of heart, this two-act version is packed with quick character changes, big laughs, and a sweet message about friendship and finding your place—even when you’re not the main character.

🕯 About the Show
This gripping drama opens in 1691, where Sarah Brooks — tried and condemned as a witch — is sentenced to hang, cursing those who would disturb her rest.

Now jump to the present: six high school seniors gather for a graduation party at Heather’s house, built on the same hill where the condemned witches were buried. When a new girl named Sarah is invited and pressured into drinking a glass of “Initiation Punch,” the night takes a deadly turn. To protect their futures, the group makes a chilling decision — and a vow of silence.

Eight years later, construction near the well has revealed… nothing. But a police detective reports that a woman in a long dress has been seen on the property. Is it Sarah?

A chilling tale of suspense with excellent roles for women, Salem’s Daughter draws you in and doesn’t let go until the unforgettable climax.
