No, a lot of story pirates get in on their second audition.
So Story Pirates is a nonprofit that is now so massive, so cool.
So many amazing stellar comedians and actors and singers have come from there.
Now they have a very successful podcast.

It's a company of performers that will teach, a bunch of teaching artists as well, that will go to schools, teach kids how to do creative writing.
And then these kids will write stories that then these professional actor and comedians put these stories up.
word even if they're like a five year old who can barely form sentences they will take it as true and they will honor it and they will put it up as a performance in front of that kid so like the kids will like a week before have like a writing workshop where they'll learn those tools and then next the next week
the story pirates will come for like a bunch of field trips and then they'll do their writing and some of these stories are so beautiful and they're written by kids all over the country they could submit stories and so they have a podcast too where you can go the podcast is now one of it's one of the leading podcasts in like kids um podcasts because i remember being like this is magical it would be what a privilege to be on this show i will never forget what i have like so many stories already i do too
