Story Pirates “pairs the best actors, comedians and musicians in the world with some of the most creative educators, and puts them together to create real collaborations with kids.” Original stories, written entirely from kids’ imaginations, become huge-scale production numbers — sketch comedy shows, over-the-top musicals, masterfully produced albums — the kind of wild imaginative art that only a kid can think of, and only the best-of-the-best grownups can execute. Benjamin “Jamie” Salka is Story Pirates’ co-creator, President and CEO.

Laura Heywood Interviews John Robert Allman (“A is for Audra”)
John Robert Allman is the author of “A is for Audra: Broadway’s Leading Ladies from A to Z.” This book is a quintessential must-have gift for everyone on your holiday list. I’m talking everyone. It’s a picture book — so you can get it for the little ones — and many people may see “A is for Audra” only as a book for kids. But don’t be fooled by the large format and colorful illustrations. This is a celebration of the women in musical theatre that have inspired ALL fans of the genre, from Tony-winning household names to lyricists, directors, and even the strong female characters (and a sprinkling of men who contributed to their creations) who have defined the modern musical theatre. And even with just 26 letters in the alphabet, there are over 70 divas included!
