Pirates were not only active on the seas and oceans of the world; they also plied their trade on the Great Lakes. One well-known name working in the Wisconsin-Michigan area in the 19th and 20th centuries was Dan Seavey, who was actually both a pirate and a lawman at different points in his lifetime. Who better to create a one man-show based on Seavey’s life than Madison-based musician, actor and sailing ship captain Tom Kastle? He will present a preview/workshop performance of the work in progress.
