CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
Full character descriptions available online.
WAYNE HOPKINS
Description: An orphaned American boy is thrown into the whirlwind of a magical world. Endearingly awkward, enthusiastic, and determined to prove he’s important—even if he’s a Puff.
Performer Needs: Strong emotional arc, comedic timing, and underdog charm.
OLIVER RIVERS
Description: A brainy kid who would rather be solving equations than learning spells. Prone to panic but deeply loyal.
Performer Needs: Dry humor, introverted energy, great contrast to Wayne.
MEGAN JONES
Description: Edgy and tough, with a chip on her shoulder. Daughter of a former dark wizard, she wants to be anything but a Puff—until she learns to accept who she is.
Performer Needs: Emotional depth, sarcasm, with a big transformation.
NARRATOR
Description: Witty, omniscient storyteller with a flair for the dramatic. Guides the audience through the chaos with sass, heart, and impeccable timing.
Performer Needs: Excellent storyteller with flexibility in tone—dry humor and heart.
