First Colony Foundation: Archaeology

Paul Green’s The Lost Colony begins when the actor portraying the historian steps upon the stage of the Waterside Theater to evoke the memory of Sir Walter Raleigh’s Roanoke colonists. He reminds the audience that events portrayed actually took place all around where they are sitting. Although this historian is one of the cast of the celebrated outdoor drama, he is paralleled by a real life, present day, blue ribbon team of archaeologists and historians continuing the search into the mysteries of the Roanoke Colonies.
