The Drunken Iguana
(La Iguana Borracha)

Mid-Coast Party Pirates!!!!!
The Pirates are a fantastically imaginative historically based (NOT entirely) crew. 
They can be whatever peri-oid we like (we keep referring to them as Hollywood authentic), so pretty much anything goes!

Our Mission: To foment creative rebellion and chaos!

The Crew:

Blue Lips Dirk -- First Mate and chief co-conspirator (Karen Heim) Also Grog taste-tester for the Captain.

Angus "Hardtack" McCray -- Chief Cook & Bottle Washer (Bruce Mai) 'Ya' dinna have to call me 'Angus'. I'd prefer ye dint, actually."

Iron Tom Brilliant -- Pilot (Bruce Hinterleitner) In charge of keeping us sailing true on our crooked, wide way. Be gentle with The Iguana, she be a delicate lizard. 

Mad Bess the Nice -- Ship's Mum  (Sue Eisenhour) Just don't try to get off the ship without taking your cod liver oil! (You put on those galoshes before you step into that wet bilge.)  She'll  read you bed-time stories, and tuck you in of a night. She also serves milk and cookies (shaped like skulls), helps polish the cannons, and applies mink oil to the cat 'o nine-tails.

Rum Dog McGee -- Ship's Surgeon  (Larry Mische) The shakiest sawbones to sail the Seven Seas. 

Lusty Kat Whipshanks -- Boatswain (Ramona Taylor) "Quick of wit, quick with the whip, and quick to slit the gullet of any double-dealing, supply-stealing bilge-rat what dares take hold o' what's in the hold." 

Pierre "Dirty Napster" TouPierre -- Master Gunner (Jack Below)

Dark Dan de Morte -- Master of Arms (Dan Hillen) and duelist supreme. (We call him Mort for short). 

TaTa O'Sullivan -- Ship's Trollop  (Genie Hillen) (aka: Dock Lolly) 

Rubis (Ruby) Gaile du Perle -- Paymaster and Purser  (Sandy Pettinger) Ships' purser and paymaster (Be nice to me or ye don't get yer cut!)  In charge of distributing the glitz.

Diamant Pierre du Gem - Entertainment Director (Pierre Pettinger) (Don't ask what I define as 'entertainment'!!) "After cocktails on the lido deck we'll be having a plank-walking demonstration" (aka 'Glitzy Pierre')
