As an active community theatre participant, Dan Castle was, from the outset of his
insurance career, aware of the need for a comprehensive theatrical insurance program.
He first developed the theatre insurance program in 1990 for groups belonging to the
Community Theatre Association of Michigan.  The program has grown steadily and is
currently available in all 50 states.

In 1995 he realized a major career goal when he joined forces with two other insurance
partners to create the PONTA, CASTLE & INGRAM AGENCY.
