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 - by telling tall tales about himself! For example: the toy badge he gets from his dad, the policeman, gives Enoch the right to boss around the other kids, because it makes him a policeman too; he can eat whatever he wants for lunch, since he is a famous chef; and he can’t play ball at recess because his pro contract says he shouldn’t risk off-season injury!!!
Stories - Live and In Person
By Alan Ostroff
The internet has been around for decades, television and movies have been around for over a century, but live theatre has been around for thousands of years, and will be around forever! Stories - Live and In Person is a show made of three different stories, which can only be told live, in front of an audience of kids who are ready for a great time full of laughs.
Story #1: A little girl in the audience of a great play performed by a great actor shows that she doesn't know who to behave properly at a play - she is a great nuisance who must learn how to behave, before she learns how to act!
Story #2: A criminal mastermind tries to convince the audience that they can be rich and famous by using his three-step plan, and that they shouldn't listen to a quirky old lady's story, which tells something else about the plan - something dastardly!
Story #3: Two brilliant scientists fight for possession of a book which holds the secrets of space and time, and they enlist the audience to decide who wins the book - only to discover that the real secret is the importance of sharing.
These silly, clever stories, each with a lesson, charge kids with the electricity of being in the same room as the actors! Stories - Live and In Person is about the importance of seeing, hearing, and feeling fun theatre!
This show is most appropriate for children ages 3 - 10.
