The Lost Colony operates as a live, symphonic outdoor drama that re-creates the historical events of England’s first North American colony during the late 16th century. Based in Manteo, North Carolina, the company presents performances from June through August, five days a week, at the Waterside Theatre in Fort Raleigh National Park on Roanoke Island, offering an immersive cultural experience in a 1,500-seat venue. Its focus is on delivering a narrative-driven production that appeals to visitors seeking historic storytelling and theatrical presentation tied to regional history. With a modest-sized team, the organization functions within the travel arrangements and live entertainment sectors, targeting audiences interested in historical drama and outdoor theatre experiences. In addition to its ongoing productions, the company engages with regional events and community occasions, as evidenced by participation in local cultural activities in the Outer Banks area.
