The Hunting of the Snark

The Hunting of the Snark

Sponsored by Outer Banks ACE

The Lost Colony is proud to announce our 2018 Children’s Show. In its North American premiere, The Hunting of the Snark will delight, excite and entertain the whole family. The Hunting of the Snark is a book by Annabel Wigoder, inspired by the poem by Lewis Carroll, with music and lyrics by Gareth Cooper. This production is generously sponsored by Outer Banks ACE.

This is the impossible voyage of an improbable crew to hunt an imaginary creature. A ragtag gang of bold adventurers including the Banker, the Boy, the Butcher, the Baker, the Bellman and the knitting Beaver set off on a quest to catch the mythical Snark… on the journey they encounter the Jub Jub bird, the sly Bandersnatch and the dastardly Boojum. Join us for this silly adventure to catch the Snark!

Directed by and set design by Esther Neel, from Lexington Children’s Theatre, and Jordan W. Prescott as Musical Director. Performances are held Wednesdays and Thursdays at 2:00 PM, through August 16th, in our Sound Stage Theatre on the grounds of The Lost Colony on Roanoke Island. All tickets are $10 and are available by phone at 252-473-6000 or online at TheLostColony.org.

Dare Night + Outer Banks Relief Foundation

Dare Night + Outer Banks Relief Foundation

The first 2018 “Dare Night” at The Lost Colony was very successful for Lifeline Outreach OBX. This Friday’s June 8th “Dare Night” performance benefits Roanoke Island Food Pantry, which helps provide people in need of emergency help while waiting for Food Assistance cards. Also joining us this week, the Outer Banks Relief Foundation will be collecting cash donations before the show. A Relief Foundation gift typically covers the most pressing household bills for a Dare County family during their time of crisis.

In addition to the food or dry goods donations, residents are required to show proof of Dare County residency. Pre-performance donation collection begins at 6:00 PM. The show starts at 7:45 PM and theatre guests are encouraged to arrive early.  Tickets will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis.  Donation of non-perishable food items are required for free ticket. Recommended items for the food drive include canned vegetables, fruits, meats, soups and beans; tomato and pasta products; cereals; toilet paper and paper towels.  There are no rain checks with these free tickets.

The final “Dare Night” performance will be June 15th and benefits Beach Food Pantry. This is an excellent opportunity for Dare County residents to see The Lost Colony while aiding families in need. “Dare Nights” are sponsored by Midgett Insurance Agency. Midgett is proud to be a part of this long-standing community event.

The Lost Colony runs through August 22 at the Waterside Theatre located on the grounds of the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site.  The show plays nightly except Sunday.  Please visit www.www.www.thelostcolony.org for information on additional events including Royal Tea, The Hunting of the Snark Children’s Show and The Lost Colony Wine and Culinary Festival.
