“Struggling students began to use writing as a means to express their thoughts and feelings for perhaps the first time in their lives. They began to write because they wanted to, not just because they had to do so.”

JON STEWART

"The Story Pirates teach kids a love of creative writing. It helps kids to see that their words and ideas are really important. I believe that what the Story Pirates are doing is helping America, nay, humanity—helping humanity itself. It’s crazy entertaining.”

The San Francisco Chronicle

"This smart, silly, irreverent crew provides audiences of all ages, and even crusty old critics, with an infusion of joy and a refreshing dose of the absurd."

AT A GLANCE

Since our first pilot program in a single Harlem school, Story Pirates Changemakers has invited tens of thousands of students to see their words and ideas come to life on stage. Our acclaimed programs and services are now in place at schools from coast to coast.
