BERLIN, CT — Berlin High School's annual fall play is slated for Friday and Saturday, with tickets still available.

And the performance just happens to be a parody of something many youngsters (and their parents) can relate to ... "Harry Potter."

“Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic,” is a hilarious parody of a familiar story, wrote BHS in describing the show.

The storyline, according to the school, is about "three potential heroes who are just trying to make it through a magic school that proves to be very dangerous for children."

The show does contain some mature themes and language.
