American Folklore Plays - Why Do Heroes Have Big Feet?

Okay. We admit it.

Why do Heroes Have Big Feet? is a pretty silly name for a play. But who can take these heroes seriously anyway?

Certainly not the four actors who turn up for the school assembly program to play these heroes:

Paul Bunyan

Mike Fink

Johnny Appleseed

Little Orphant Annie

Small Cast Plays for Children - Why Do Heroes Have Big Feet?

"A logger never shaves the whiskers off his hairy hide.
He pounds 'em in with a mallet
And bites 'em off inside!"

-- Logger Song

Adapted for children, young audiences and easy touring, this bright, zany children's play is full of fun and laughs!  Great for School Assemblies, the script gives lots of ideas for easy props, costumes and minimal set.  Teachers love the educational tie-ins: History, American Literature, American Folk Tales and Library Books!


Great Comedy Script for Middle Schools, High Schools,
Community Theatres and Professional Touring!
The script can be easily adapted for a large cast!


"Heroes" is a One Act Award Winner!

"We performed "Why Do Heroes Have Big Feet?" at our Community Theatre State Festival. One of the actors, won an excellence in acting and we also won excellence in props.
 It was well received and the actors enjoyed it a lot. 
I had many people ask me where we found the play!"
Sue Beukema, Newtown Community Theatre, Newtown IA
