A perennial parenting challenge is sleep (or lack thereof). Particularly in these turbulent times, it’s difficult to calm children at bedtime. Sleep experts advise parents to set up a ritual to ease the process of drifting off to dreamland.
Help is on the way from The Story Pirates SLEEP SQUAD, a family-friendly, interactive virtual theater experience which turns the viewer’s home into a rocket ship launching kids into dreamland. Featuring brand new kid-driven storytelling, and exclusive new music from the Story Pirates, this world premiere on-demand production creates a new kind of bedtime ritual for kids ages 4 to 12. The show runs November 19th to December 31st, and presales begin today for Story Pirates Creator Club members via the Story Pirates Creator Club. General ticket sales open to the public via Stellar this Thursday.
SLEEP SQUAD stars Tony Award Nominee Lilli Cooper (SpongeBob SquarePants, Tootsie) as the Dream Queen, who invites kids to the Sleep Squad in an introductory video, and then guides adventurers through three different enchanting audio experiences, adapted in classic Story Pirates fashion from stories written by real kids, including a visit to a desert island (“Stuck Island”), a dinosaur’s birthday party (“Spinosaurus’ Birthday”), and an intergalactic nightclub (“30 Moons”).
A ticket to the on-screen performances comes with a “Dreamtime Travel Kit” which will be delivered to each family’s home address. The items within this “secret” kit – including a dream journal, “sleep goggle” mask and star machine – help bring the performance to life, inviting kids to take ownership of the imagination-powered storytelling. SLEEP SQUAD concludes with soothing music that will help lull adventurers to sleep.
SLEEP SQUAD is brought to you by Tony Award-winning producer Eva Price, Olivier-nominated Jennifer Weber, and the critically acclaimed Story Pirates, creator of the #1 podcast for kids, downloaded more than 25 million times and winner of both the 2020 Webby and iHeartRadio award for Best Kids and Family podcast.
Story Pirates Creator Club members receive a 15 percent discount on the $50 ticket price ($42.50). Purchasers determine their personal “start date” and then have 10 days to experience the show, beginning November 19, 2020. The Dreamtime Travel Kit will be shipped to the ticket buyer’s home within 5 to 7 days of the chosen performance date. For families with more than one little dreamer, multiple kits may be shipped to the same address for an additional fee of $15 per kit, so that each kid gets their own bedtime package.
