Jon Stewart will perform in a the Story Pirates’ second annual After School Special fundraiser, to be held at Dixon Place, on Sunday, March 21 at 4pm. John Oliver will host.

The Story Pirates will present a special version of their musical sketch comedy show in which celebrity guests bring to life stories written by kids who are in the audience. All funds raised will benefit the company, which brings arts and creative writing programs to low-income students.

An online auction will be held in conjunction with the benefit, with items including the chance to have Stewart perform in a lucky child’s original story; a yearlong membership to Crunch Gym; tickets to Broadway shows, Saturday Night Live, The Colbert Report; and a visit with the stars of NCIS.
