The Tall Tales of Enoch
By: Alan Ostroff
Enoch is a seven-year old with a problem – he's desperate to impress his new third grade class! Here are just a few of the tall tales Enoch tells during his first day: The toy badge he gets from his dad, the policeman, makes Enoch a real policeman too; his paper bag lunch is a gourmet feast he made himself, since he is a chef; he can’t play baseball at recess because his contract with the Yankees says he shouldn’t risk off-season injury; and he has to wear comically oversized pants in gym class because he is six foot five!!!
As people believe Enoch, he believes himself! But a combination of new friends, loving parents, and the realization that he can’t live up to his false promises, teaches the boy to be honest, and to stop spinning The Tall Tales of Enoch. The Tall Tales of Enoch is a short play for children, grades K-5, all about learning the importance of honesty, and discovering that being your true self is the most impressive thing of all!
