Thank you for an incredible season!

So many memories made, so many friendships formed, and so many moments we’ll carry with us — that’s what makes all the hard work worth it.

The 89th season of The Lost Colony was truly one for the books. Saturday night’s final performance began with our local community showing up in the most meaningful way, bringing donations to support Dare County schools. And somehow, we ended the season with one of the biggest audiences of the entire season.

What a way to close the season.

To our cast, crew, volunteers, sponsors, supporters, and every single person who bought a ticket and shared this story with us — thank you. Here’s to the memories, the friendships, and 89 seasons of making history on Roanoke Island.
