Who We Are

    The Moody Crewe is based in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia and is available for educational and/or entertainment programs that can be customized to fit your needs.

    The Moody Crewe represents the "Golden Age of Piracy" (1680 to 1730). We  portray the men in the devoted service of Christopher Moody,  who pirated the Atlantic Ocean from 1717 to 1722.

    The Moody Crewe has over 55 years combined experience as living historians; some members are listed with the National Registry of Living Historians.

    Many of the men are certified as  black powder experts by the National Park Service.

    Some of the Moody Crewe are members of the Virginia Storytellers Alliance.

 "Dear Moody Crewe,

Just a note to thank you for entertaining us at the 2nd Annual Little League Challenger Jamboree. I know I speak for all 2000 kids in attendance (and their parents) that they enjoyed seeing and having their pictures taken with real-life pirates. It made a special day even better. Thanks again and hope your ship sails our way again next year."

"Dear Moody Crewe-

Thank you again for your participation in the "For Kids" fund raiser. You guys shook up the guests outside and raised the roof inside - everybody loved our pirates. With your help we raised over $180,000!! The Moody Crewe was everywhere - is there a picture you guys weren't in? Personally, I'd like the theme to be Pirates again next year, just to have The Moody Crewe back. We can't thank you enough."

Most Sincerely,
Caryn Nowland
