Story Pirates Comes To Westfield: Celebrating Stories Written by Children

The Junior League of Elizabeth-Plainfield will be hosting two family shows featuring Story Pirates, on Sunday, October 14, 2012 at Temple Emanu-el in Westfield, New Jersey. 

Story Pirates is a nationally respected education and media organization founded in 2003 to celebrate the words and ideas of young people. On October 14th, Story Pirates’ professional actors will delight and surprise your family with puppets, enlivening songs and outrageous sketches using stories previously written by children, all the while motivating kids to pick up a pencil and write down their own fantastic adventures. Story topics run the gamut, from kung fu ninja babies fighting crime and the eternal love between the devil and some guy she met at Starbucks, to cats flying and tickle monsters who rule the world.

Through the Story Pirates shows, funds will be raised to support the projects of Junior League of Elizabeth-Plainfield, a service organization that is committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. There are two shows on Sunday, Oct. 14:  2 and 3:30 p.m. 

Advance tickets are $15 each or four for $50 (for each show) and can be purchased online by visiting www.jlepnj.org via the website’s e-store or at The Jumble Store, the Junior League’s thrift shop located at 110 Walnut Avenue in Cranford. For more information:  contact information@jlepnj.org.
