Unique Experiences

Item Description

This spring, your child’s idea could go viral.

Win this package and your child’s original story will be performed by the Story Pirates and The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart at the After School Special benefit on May 20 as your family watches from 4 premiere orchestra seats. Your lucky author will share the stage with Mr. Stewart for an onstage interview and take a well-deserved bow.

Commemorate this special story with a one-of-a-kind book from our friends at Scribble Press. Your child’s manuscript and illustrations will be combined with photographs from the performance, then expertly printed and bound as you watch the publishing process. Take the book home to accent your coffee table, and keep an eye on Scribble’s website for their blog entry dedicated to your child's experience.

But is one book really enough? How about a special edition comic book created by a pro-graphic designer friend of the Story Pirates too?

Shortly after the show on May 20, Story Pirates’ sponsors Sirius XM Satellite Radio will broadcast the benefit to a national broadcast. Your newly famous author will pop into the studio for a live interview on the Absolutely Mindy! show on Kids Place Live. From coast to coast, the nation will hear just what it’s like to have your ideas celebrated in such an awesome way.

And finally, one last opportunity to savor the limelight. Story Pirates actors will perform an encore of your child's story next year at the Children's Museum of Manhattan. Your family will come for the show and can enjoy all that CMOM has to offer for a full year with your complementary membership.
