The world premiere of Pip's Island, a brand new, wholly immersive and groundbreaking theatrical event for all audiences, sets sail November 12 for a strictly limited 8-week engagement in New York City, at Skylight Modern (537 West 27th Street, between 10th and 11th Avenues). Tickets, now on sale, are available at www.PipsIsland.com or by calling OvationTix at 866.811.4111.

This fall, NYC families will take an extraordinary trip unlike any they've ever traveled before, to Pip's Island, a wildly entertaining, revolutionary new theatrical adventure. Blending brilliant artistry with the latest in modern technology, Pip's Island is an unparalleled experience which plays out differently with each 60-minute journey based on the wild imaginations of its enthusiastic young participants -- the explorer, dreamer, artist, scientist and action-hero in your life - who are invited to take a direct part of the storytelling and help the Island's inhabitants save the day!

Upon entering this exciting new interactive experience, the entire family will be instantly transported straight to Pip's Island, a magical, faraway island: a realm of sights, sounds and wild adventures with an array of amazing characters to stimulate and inspire every child's imagination.

The brainchild of sister-and-brother partnership Rania and Rami Ajami, Pip's Island is three years in the making and follows the history, mythology and adventures of a cast of charismatic characters, led by a boy named Pip and his cohorts Pebble and Finn.

The whole fantasy world has been created for guided groups of children aged 4-10 with hour-long immersive "expeditions."

An interactive first in children's entertainment, Pip's Island boasts a synthesis of animation, live actors, multi-sensorial environments, and a compelling narrative, which the audience helps shape through explorer challenges.

Graphic novels, web series, broadcast animated series, mobile apps and video games will be used to explore the rich story world using the fully developed visual language developed by the in-house animation team.

"Pip's Island is about empowering children by giving experiences that will help them find the spark within. During the adventure, each child explorer collects 'sparks' in the form of badges as he or she plays or completes tasks to advance in the story. To overcome obstacles and challenges, each player finds within him-or-herself the spark-the power to impact the world around them." -Rania Ajami, Co-Founder

"Born from today's need for children to have multi-sensorial experiences that challenge their minds, spirits and bodies, we believe Pip's Island is the future of kid's entertainment as it transcends digital and physical realms. The major global cities are brimming with children, and yet there are very limited options for families looking to expand their children's creative horizons. Pip's Island aims to fill that gap with engaging adventures that the children can also benefit from." -Rami Ajami, Co-Founder

Pip's Island launches Saturday, November 12 at Chelsea's Skylight Modern, 537 West 27th Street (between 10th and 11th Avenues), New York, NY, 10011.
