These pirates won’t make you walk the plank, but they will steal your kids’ stories and use them in an hour of comedy that promotes creative writing and imagination. The stories are entirely written by kids and brought to life by professional comedians, actors and musicians. According to Benjamin Salka, Executive Director of Story Pirates, “Our program is designed to spark the imaginations of young people, and to show them that their ideas and their voices matter.”
In addition to “Greatest Hits” stories created by kids from around the country, and stories improvised on the spot with suggestions from young people in the audience, the show will feature two stories written by students from The Help Group’s Village Glen and Bridgeport elementary school programs serving children with autism spectrum disorders.
Geffen Playhouse and The Help Group invite you to take part in this unforgettable afternoon in celebration of the creative potential of all children and the magic of the performing arts.
Reservations are required- Please call 818-779-5212.
