Coerced Confessions
"I wanted to thank you and your crewe very, very much for coming to our family fun night and adding a very authentic Pirate flair to the evening! To date every person I have talked to has said it was our best event yet and that they really enjoyed you guys. It is also looking to be our most profitable event to date, which given the current economic conditions is amazing. This was my first time helping run an event of this type and although it went wonderfully I really felt we kind of left you guys to make your own way and figure out how to help. Regardless of that you all made the most of it and really spent time with the kids, played games with them, and mingled among the crowds, etc. Your independence is a reflection of you and your crewe's professionalism and experience."

Tortured Testimonies "Dear Moody Crewe, A huge thank you for a wonderful event you put on for us on May 2nd, 2009 and for helping us by conducting our upcoming Pirate summer camps! We received so much positive feedback from the visitors we had that day, and everyone present had a wonderful time! The kids really enjoyed the “School of the Pirate” as well! I’m really excited about the upcoming camps because I know, as always, your Crewe will create a fun, exciting, and educational adventure. The time and effort you have put into the events you have helped us with is always outstanding and deeply appreciated! " Sincerely, Katie Spacek, Assistant Curator Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Museum
"TO: Moody Crewe
I attended Harborfest Norfolk VA in June 2011.
I was very impressed with the high standard of interaction with all age groups and simultaneously with the individuals in the audience. That type of positive energy is perfect for our next event."
