About the Show

A musical sketch comedy show that is based entirely on stories written by kids, featuring brand new sketches every single week.

From mischievous dogs who peer pressure their owners, to triumphant rock operas about the time it rained at a Mets game, every story performed is written by an elementary schooler, and adapted by world-class comedians and improvisers. Each Flagship show features a combination of Story Pirates' greatest hits (written by kids from around the country), new stories (written by kids in the crowd), and a brand new improvised sketch (based on suggestions on-the-spot from kids in the audience).

Delightful, Funny, Refreshing, Sweet, Entertaining

See it if you have kids into theater and/or writing. Interesting & inspiring for them to experience a show written by other kids whom they might meet!

Don't see it if you ain't got no kids. This is a family day @ the theater. Afterwards, it was amazing to watch the interaction between the kids & writer(s).

Family friendly, Sketch comedy, Funny, Delightful, Clever

See it if if you and your family likes sketch comedy. This is a terrific concept where they celebrate literacy in a fun way

Don't see it if if you don't like comedy, if you're expecting a single plot line, or if you're expecting a big Broadway production, this is not for you

Delightful, Funny, Entertaining, Original

See it if You'd like to see several short little sketches written by young children, several of whom were in the audience. Great fun!

Don't see it if You are only into big giant touristy musicals.

For a previous production

"About ten minutes in to the 'Story Pirates' hour-long show, I felt a wave of pure silliness wash over me. This troop of professional actors and educators who create original musicals based on real stories written by kids are so funny, I would challenge anyone not to leave the theater feeling happy...My only regret is that I didn't bring my three year old son. I think he would have loved it."

For a previous production

"'Story Pirates' featured a group of musical sketch comedy artists who brought a story to life based on the words and ideas provided by kids in the audience. It was creative, clever and really funny...When the show was over, the cast gathered in the lobby to meet with kids, which was fantastic, which was a nice opportunity for the kids to continue to express their thoughts on the story."
