Abstract:

An outdoor historical drama and dance creation has drawn national praise. Joe Layton directed \"The Lost Colony\", a musical of the historic Roanoke colony. Layton utilized local drama students to create the musical and emphasized the Native American role in the colony's history. Broadway directors have noticed the musical and praised the work. Other outdoor dramas that feature a North Carolina theme and Native American dances are \"Unto These Hills,\" about the Cherokees, and \"Horn in the West,\" about Daniel Boone.
