Shaun Rolly is the co-creator of the musical “A Pirate’s Tale”. He’s a really fun and interesting pirate with a knack for jumping off the deep end without a plan. Get learned up on what happens at stuntman school and how that led Shaun to creating a full scale musical that fits inside a ship in Pittsburg.
I also do some blathering about the loss of Prince and his importance to my work. And I let you in on some of my other ‘secret mentors’.
