EVENING TOURS
(June 1-August 20)
The Costume Shop is the highlight of the tour as your group mingles among the many and varied actual costumes used in the drama each night. Witness this area bustling with activity, as costumers, wardrobe personnel and stitchers are busy putting final touches on last minute garment changes! As you move on to the scene shop and prop rooms you can see actors and technicians at work and watch as dancers warm up for the show.

The tour begins promptly at 6:30 pm at The Lost Colony Box Office and ends at 7:30pm. These exclusive tours are limited to the first 50 guests!

Groups wishing to attend the pre-performance tour must register and pay the $5 per person in advance of the attendance date and the group number will not be limited to 50.
OFF-SEASON DAY TOURS for groups only
(by special arrangement only, from September to May)

This is a unique, up-close look at our theatre, costume shop, scene shop and prop rooms which the general public rarely have the opportunity to see.

Your tour starts at the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site Visitors Center (The Lindsay Warren Visitor Center) where a Park Service Ranger addresses the significance of Fort Raleigh for its historic preservation, archaeological treasures, and educational importance. Before you leave The Visitors Center, you will see a short video entitled “Roanoke: The Lost Colony”.

After a short tour through the park leading to the Waterside Theatre, the Park Ranger will then turn your group over to a Lost Colony Guide for the remainder of your tour. Your guide will continue with a narrative about the historic significance of the “hallowed ground” of Fort Raleigh and answer questions about The Lost Colony production as well as the theatre, grounds, costumes, props, actors and characters from the show.

Large groups may be divided into two or three smaller groups at the discretion of the tour guide. To make arrangements for a day tour during the off-season, please call the business office at 252-473-2127.
