Abstract:

Outdoor drama as a theatrical genre was born in 1937 in the Tar Heel state when collaboration between the town of Manteo and North Carolina playwright Paul Green resulted in \"The Lost Colony\" production. This play is now the nation's oldest outdoor drama, followed by Cherokee's “Unto These Hills” and Boone's “Horn in the West” in second and third place. In the summer of 2005, nine historical drams will be in production across the state, more than any other state in the country.
