Storm: A Maritime Visual Concert Experience 

1:00pm 

State Theatre

913 Washington Avenue, Bay City 

General Admission:  $10.00/person

It's fair to say that most of the stories of shipwrecks on the Great Lakes have been lost to the ages. Thousands of ships--from sailing schooners to steel freighters--have vanished from these inland seas. The causes of these accidents varies, from collisions to fire and strandings. But November gales are the most notorious, appearing with little notice during the month when shipping companies are scrambling to get their final loads acrss the lakes before the freeze-up.

Storm remembers these terrifying gales and the survivals of sailors who were caught in the tempests. Combining actual eyewitness interviews with spellbinding underwater video, the presentation fuses contemporary music to create a history lesson that cannot be forgotten. 

Ric Mixter hosts Storm, transporting the audience back to the age of sail and steam. Dan Hall provides the melody, with lyrics derived from historical accounts of survivors. Dan's songs are as powerful as the massive modern freighters he heralds in "Thousand Foot Keel," and his amazing voice provides requiem to those lost to the lakes.
