As promised, Story Pirates has sailed back into the warm waters of Lake Michigan and will be appearing at SPACE in Evanston! Center for Independent Futures (CIF) is proud to host this nationally respected arts and creative writing organization based in New York City and Los Angeles! Story Pirates’ mission is to preserve the spark of youthful creativity often lost in the transition to adulthood, and they do this by showcasing the words and ideas of young people. In special performances created just for CIF, the Story Pirates will showcase and perform the stories written by young people with disabilities.

This event, now in its third year, will be held on Sunday, October 21 with two shows – one at 11:00 a.m. and one at 1:00 p.m. We are pleased that Inclusion Solutions, SPACE, Whole Foods and Make It Better will once again be sponsors of the event. Additional sponsors will be announced at a later date.
