Family Fest Story Pirates at Adrienne Arsht Center

Miami, FL – January 20, 2018 – Story Pirates, a comedy troupe and nonprofit arts education organization based in New York and Los Angeles, surprised two Miami-Dade County elementary school students by bringing their short stories to life on stage during the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County’s Family Fest, a free series featuring family-friendly performances. The students, both from iPrep Academy, attended the performance without knowing that their stories were selected and transformed into a sketch comedy musical by the talented Story Pirates cast. After an exciting live show, the second grade students were invited to take a bow on the John S. and James L. Knight Concert hall stage. A group of 75 members of Arsht Families who attended the performance were also invited for a private reception complete with children activities, such as arts and crafts. After creating their own puppets, the children put on a puppet show for their families to enjoy. The cast of Story Pirates also stopped by the reception for a quick meet and greet.
