Description

The Lost Colony is the story of the pioneering spirit that makes America unique. In a feat almost as bold as the enterprise of the 117 English men, women and children who first settled on Roanoke Island, local Dare County residents launched a movement over 70 years ago to perpetuate the memory of the original settlers. Springing from a series of local pageants and fueled by a powerful grassroots movement, Paul Green's The Lost Colony premiered in 1937.

Despite the Great Depression, two World Wars, hurricanes, fires, and financial challenges, the Roanoke Island Historical Association, producer of The Lost Colony, has proudly continued the tradition of keeping the dream alive. Now we invite you to become a member of one of the most prestigious performing arts organizations in the country. Your membership in the Roanoke Island Historical Association provides operating support, ensures artistic quality, and supports our educational outreach programs, ensuring that the legacy of the original colonists continues into the new century.
