The Lost Colony is the and outdoor drama produced by the Roanoke Island Historical Association (RIHA), a non-profit whose mission is to celebrate the history of the first English colonies on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. Commissioned by Roanoke Island residents, the show was originally written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paul Green. It recounts the events leading to the disappearance of the English colonists who settled there over 400 years ago. Lost Colony premiered in 1937 and was intended to run only through the end of that summer. When Franklin D. Roosevelt attended that August, the nation's eyes were fixed on the production, assuring that there would be subsequent seasons. There have been seventy-one since.
