The Crimson Pirates started in 1996 at the New York Renaissance Faire at Sterling Forest in Tuxedo, New York. The original group performed the fight/stunt
show Buccaneer's Brawl and comprised current members Robin Flanagan, Don Kilcoyne,
Karen O'Hara, Dan O'Driscoll and Lionel Ruland. The stage show also included Angela Bonacasa, Joseph Kentner and Suzanne O'Hare... Besides fighting over possession of a treasure map at the 'Bucket O'Blood Inn' and flying through the air "with the greatest of ease" (on a 'slide-for-life') - our multi-talented crew of singers/musicians performed song
sets for patrons throughout the faire.
