Review & FAQ:

Also known simply as the Roanoke Colony, The Lost Colony was a short-lived English colony that was established in 1587 and mysteriously abandoned less than three years later. No one knows exactly what happened to the 117 people who briefly called Roanoke Island their home, but every year, an experienced theatrical team recreates the story on the exact site of the former colony. Shows typically take place on the last week of March and the first week of April, and visitors are advised to buy their tickets well in advance. Backstage visits, VIP passes, and pre-show dinners are available at an additional cost.
