Don’t miss your opportunity to experience one of the top attractions in the Outer Banks. The Lost Colony is widely acknowledged as the precursor to the modern American Broadway Musical. The drama is performed outside in two one-hour acts with a 15 minute intermission at the Waterside Theater located at the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site on Roanoke Island, and now you can purchase your tickets through Kitty Hawk Kites!
Bursting with action and excitement, The Lost Colony is the exciting musical re-telling of America’s first English Colony and the great mystery that surrounds it. Nestled along the shores of America’s most historic and mysterious island, over 100 professional actors, technicians and designers have gathered every summer since 1937 to honor the memory of the brave people who came here to build a new country. The production is as epic as their story. Written by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Paul Green, The Lost Colony is a cultural treasure and the best family entertainment on the Outer Banks!
The Lost Colony educates, enriches and entertains. Don’t leave the Outer Banks until you see The Lost Colony.
For 19 days each May over 200 actors, technicians, designers and volunteers rehearse to bring The Lost Colony to life for another summer season. The production is enormous. The stage itself is over three times larger than most Broadway stages in New York. By booking with Kitty Hawk Kites you will be seated in the center of the stage area with action happening on three sides of you and even sometimes right next to you in the aisle. Come see epic battles and Indian dances. Experience the sorrow and heartbreak of tragedy and loss. Witness the pageantry of the Queen and her court, and celebrate the birth of Virginia Dare. There is music, laughter, romance and dance.

You should plan on arriving one half hour prior to your first scheduled event. This gives you plenty of time to park, pick up your tickets, take some pictures, etc. Parking is very close to the box office, but there is about a 150 yard walk from the box office into the theatre, so plan accordingly.
The theater opens for seating at 7:00, but the rain-shelters are open at 6:00. Restrooms, gift shop and concessions are available.
Kitty Hawk Kites offers “Premier” seating for Lost Colony shows. When you purchase your tickets, please indicate which section you prefer.
