Pete's Castle
PETE'S CASTLE is a day-in-the-life examination of Pete Kelley, creator of Kelley Castle in Tomahawk, Wisconsin.
The story follows Pete and his brother Pat as they tour around the castle and describe the harrowing and humorous process of putting the castle together, piece by piece.
It features an original Gershwin-inspired soundtrack music composed and performed by clarinetist Cynthia Goosby and percussionist Scott Charvet.
Enjoy the wonder of this modern marvel, a beautifully strange synthesis of old-world classical sensibilities and folksy American pragmatism and humor.
