This evening my son and daughter-in-law and I went out to dinner, my treat, and to a play, their treat. Each was a new experience. First dinner at Yummy Thai. They had been there before but I hadn't.. It is a little restaurant on east State Street and the food was delicious. Then on to the theater. We saw a production of "Puffs" at Purdue Fort Wayne Theater. If you are not a Harry Potter fan you can stop reading now, but if you are a fan, this was a very funny and sometimes weird spoof, retelling the entire seven volume Harry Potter saga in two hours. This time the story was told from the point of view of students from Hufflepuff House, whose only claim to fame ever was their hero who dies in Book 4. Lots of slapstick and some crude jokes. The actors (all PFW students) really did an excellent job, very high energy. Even the student who broke his ankle in rehearsal Wednesday and was on crutches did a remarkable job. The audience, about half and half students and older folks, had fun too, waving yellow flags (Hufflepuff's color) at all the right places. Many of them came dressed for the event in Hogwarts robes. The audience members in the front row got souvenir Puffs tissues in honor of the event, It was a silly fun evening.
