The longest running outdoor symphonic drama, The Lost Colony tells the real-life story of the first English colonists who came to Roanoke Island and who mysteriously disappeared. The show takes place in the exact location where the events first took place (Manteo, NC). The show first opened in 1937, written by Paul Green, and has been running ever since, each summer.
In 2021, a re-imagined production directed by Jeff Whiting, brought together a world-class creative team to reimagine the production with a brand new symphonic score by Sam Davis, and many other theatrical additions, including puppets (Nicholas Mahon), 3D projections (Christopher Ash), authentic Native American choreography (Nakya Leviner) and Native American music (Kaya Littleturtle).
In 2013 the production earned a Tony Award for Excellence in Theatre.
