~Our Mission Statement~

The mission of "Valhalla's Pirates" is to present both Historical and
Theatrical Entertainment to children and adults. We also aspire to help young people who
are struggling with social, emotional, and medical difficulties, and aid charities that
dedicated to these causes. In addition, we provide our services to help other non-profit
organizations and agencies raise funds for their endeavors.
Our Goals:
·To educate the public regarding
the Golden Age of Piracy (life on the high seas, manner of dress, speech, common knowledge and skills,
weapons, tools, and ship's crew organization during the years 1670-1730)
·To teach the differences between pirates, privateers,
and ordinary sailors and their impact on history
·To employ entertainment and "living history"
as primary methods of education
(It is our belief that history can be not only interesting but also fun. We feel that
realistically portraying pirates and sailors who can physically
'interact' with the public is the most effective way of teaching.)
·To cooperate with other non-profit organizations,
operators of replica vessels, and also land-based groups who seek to re-live that time period.
·Our ultimate goal is to re-create "The Brethren of
the Coast", a legendary governing body outlined by Captains Henry Morgan and Bartholomew Roberts,
as a means of organizing similar organizations and groups into a more effective network to both
educate and entertain. |
