Abstract:
The outdoor drama was pioneered in North Carolina. The first was Paul Green's The Lost Colony. This season, which is from the last week end in June through the first week in September, there will be five of them - three in the Great Smoky and Blue Ridge Mountains, one on Roanoke Island and one in the Piedmont. The dramas depict widely different chapters of history from the disappearance of the English settlers at Roanoke Island to the sacrifice of a Cherokee martyr.

Carried on the wings of the Second Great Awakening at the turn of the 19th-century, the idea of the camp meeting spread both on the frontier and along the eastern seaboard, and became a hallmark of American Methodism.
