Story Pirates Kids Theater At Comix!

While many children’s theater troops tell stories to children, The Story Pirates believe that every child has a story to tell. On January 10th, Comix presents Story Pirates!

This New York City arts education organization exists entirely because of kids! The group of professional actors, improv comedians and teaching artists uses stories written by elementary students as source material for outrageous, over-the-top, side-splitting musical plays. Adding songs, props, music videos and puppets, they bring to life on stage what children scribble down on paper.

At a typical Story Pirates show, story topics run the gamut, from kung-fu ninja babies fighting crime to the eternal love between the devil and a guy she meets at Starbucks. It’s a world where cats sometimes fly and Tickle Monsters have been known to take over the world.
