Ticket Info

The Lost Colony runs approximately 2 hours, including a fifteen-minute intermission between Acts 1 and 2.

We always advise that you purchase your tickets in advance to ensure preferred seating as all seats are reserved. If you wait until the night of the performance, we cannot guarantee seats will be available. The sooner you purchase tickets, the greater choice you have in choosing your seats.
