The play parodies the “Harry Potter” series from the perspective of Hufflepuff house.“This is a super-fast-paced show with a lot of character changes during scenes,” Williams said. “Very little blackouts or set changes (are made), so (there is) hardly any time between scenes. Even though the show is at Hendricks Live!, we have had to have all but one rehearsal at Longstreet Playhouse. The stage at Hendricks Live! is over twice the size of Longstreet, along with the smallness of the wings and backstage. Not to mention that the set building and costuming (are) sharing the space with us. It is an effort to get 46 kids in the right place, out of each other’s way, and to keep the noise down off stage. This is the happiest and biggest group of friends I have ever been around in a show.“This show is absolutely hilarious and entertaining, with action besides the laughs, and some good values addressed. With this being such a fun show, and the cast really loving to be together, this might be the most fun I have had with a show.”Hendricks Civic Theatre presents six shows a year, with an annual youth show for actors younger than 20. Williams, a Brownsburg resident, has directed one show per year the last few years. Amanda Williams, his wife, is the co-director for “Puffs.” “We are having a blast,” Williams said. “I have also produced seven shows, and Amanda has produced four shows. HCT generally has a different director for each show.”Avon Middle School student Chris Hicks, 14, plays Wayne Hopkins.“I really like the jokes and subtle references of the show, but I also enjoy everyone in the cast.” said Hicks, who is appearing in his ninth HCT show. “I’ve made some new friends and they’re super cool. I like how relatable and similar to my own self Wayne is. He’s also pretty silly.”Isla McGinnis, a 14-year-old homeschool student from Lagoda, plays Vold“This is my first role with a wheezing voice and that is difficult,” McGinnis said. “It’s also my first villain (role).”Traejen Asher, a 14-year-old from Mooresville, plays Cedric Diggory.“Not my biggest role but it is still awesome,” Asher said. “I love this role. I have acted in many shows, although this is my first with HCT.”Tickets are available at hendrickslive.org.</div></body>
