SUMMARY:Dan Seavey: Confessions of a Great Lakes Pirate
DESCRIPTION:Special Preview Performance\nDan Seavey: Confessions of A Great Lakes Pirate\nStarring Tom Kastle\nDirected by Francisco Torres\nDan Seavey: Confessions of A Great Lakes Pirate is a one man play written and performed by actor\, musician\, and tall ships sailor Tom Kastle for adult and young adult audiences.* It looks\, both comically\, and seriously\, at the life of THE Great Lakes pirate of all time; Dan Seavey\, who lived from 1865 to 1949.  He was a lumberman\, businessman\, bureaucrat\, Navy veteran\, saloon keeper\, Klondike gold rush miner\, sailor\, bootlegger\, and law enforcement officer\, but his biggest claim was that of… Great Lakes pirate. \nLike literary contemporaries such as Long John Silver\, this production treats Seavey as a charming character\, a colorful character\, and a flawed character\, as well. A man who has done some terrible things but\, in the end\, you want to cheer for him and wish him well\, as he sails off into the sunset. \nAbout the performer \nFor years\, Tom Kastle traveled the world\, collecting and performing maritime songs and stories and sailing tall ships on the Great Lakes. These days\, his passions are even more diverse and include theatrical projects\, from Man of La Mancha to Shakespeare to God Help Us! with the legendary Ed Asner; film projects\, like Francisco Torres’ Delight In the Mountain; and television\, where he hosted a short documentary on the Bicentennial Battle of Lake Erie that was nominated for an Emmy Award. His captain and relief captain credits include the tall ships around the Great Lakes. Kastle was Relief Captain of the Michigan Maritime Museum’s own tall ship Friends Good Will in 2006 and Captain in 2007. \nTickets: $10 per person\, $5 Museum Members \n*This play is not for children. Dan Seavey contains examples of drinking\, violence\, and mild language. In other words\, actual adult pirate behavior \nPurchase Tickets Here
