Real People. True Stories.

What do you get when you cross a troupe of brilliant improv actors with elementary school kids? The Story Pirates, of course!
From its origins as a student project at Northwestern University, Story Pirates has used unconventional methods to help countless children learn to express themselves through creative writing.
An interesting aside: when we filmed this spot for Microsoft they were sharing a cramped office with a struggling actor and musician named Lin-Manuel Miranda, who just a few years later would go on to write and star in the Broadway phenomenon, “Hamilton.”
