Story Pirates is a nationally respected arts and creative writing organization founded in 2003 to celebrate the words and ideas of young people, to promote literacy as a vital part of early childhood education, and to preserve the spark of youthful creativity often lost in the transition to adulthood. The cornerstone of the company is the Play/Write Program, a series of creative writing and drama workshops that lead to a musical sketch comedy show acted by adults and comprised entirely of stories written by kids.

The award winning show has been described as "Monty Python meets Schoolhouse Rock." Based in New York and Los Angeles, Story Pirates has grown to reach hundreds of thousands of children in over 100 schools across the country.
