The Lost Colony Show Night
Come see a theatrical interpretation of the Lost Colony's story at the open-air theater in Manteo. Shows are performed Mondays through Saturdays during the summer.
The Lost Colony offers a refreshed production of Paul Green's original symphonic drama. Set on the soundfront on Roanoke Island, enjoy this symphonic drama under the stars. Become immersed in the story of the discovery of a new world with newly enhanced musical and theatrical direction and dynamically stunning choreography. Witness the pageantry of Queen Elizabeth I and her court and celebrate the birth of Virginia Dare, the first English child born in America all while preserving the historical importance of America's oldest mystery. An Outer Banks experience not to be missed!
New in 2025! Catch the free Native American Pre-Show on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday nights before the main event. The pre-show is a Native American cultural showcase of stories, songs and dances. The show is performed by members of the Native American The Lost Colony cast.
