A Pirate's Life Experience

Captain Dogfish Briggins

Capt Dogfish
Captain Dogfish Briggins (aka Corey Lefkowitz ) has 28 years of professional living history experience. His fascination started as a child attending the Agoura Renaissance Festival with his parents. In his late teens, he turned an interest in history into a passon for living history.

He started participating in Rendezvous and his collection of period wardrobes, goods, and weapons began to grow. His first experiences performing began on the rendezvous circuit, shooting black powder weapons and displaying off historical goods. Corey has shared his love for learning about living history by doing demonstrations at schools and educational programs with Friends of the Frontier, Age of Discovery Productions, Pirates of the Silver Realm, and A PIRATE'S LIFE.

Corey has provided a huge arsenal of 18th century weapons, props, and effects for displaying of historical goods at various pirate festivals and special events across the US.
