Rulane Gas Service Is ECONOMICAL! — Remember —PULANF PARKWAY RULANX OAS SERVICE DIAL AM 4-MM Carolina's Drama Time Gets Started In June By MIRIAM RABB North CaroUnft three big outdoor firamii "Thn Lost Colony". "Unto These Hills" and "Horn In the Wert '—will reopen in late June to play nightly except Monday* through summer. The three mows are long run hit* which have become alaaoet a* much a part of North Carolina's summer scene as the historic seacoast and towering mountain peaks of their vacationland settings. Together, they give the Variety VacaUooland State a fixed outdoor drama circuit not duplicated elsewhere. They draw a combined total attendance of over 230,000 each summer. Each drama tells a story of historical events which took place in the surrounding area, and tells it with music, dancing and elaborate staging as well as with polished acting. They are not pageants, but plays produced on a grand scale in spacious amphitheatres built especially to accommodate them. Each of the theatres seats up to 1,000 people and although it has a secluded site is accessible by paved highway*. Free, lighted parking space ia provided for the patrons' automobiles. 1987 production dates for the dramas are: The Lost Colony", Manteo, June 29-September 1; "Unto Theee Hills", Cherokee, June 25-September 1; and "Horn in the West", Boone, June 28September 2. "The Lost Colony", now preparing for its 17th season, waa written by Paul Green, the Pulitierprize winner, for production in 1837 on Roanoke Island, site of the first English settlements in America. With the exception of three years during World War II, it has played each summer since then and has been seen by over a million people. Roanoke Island was the objective of Sir Walter Raleigh's ill-fated attempts to establish English colonies in the New World in 1585 and 1587, and it was the tragic mystery surrounding the disappearance of the "lost" colony of 1587 which inspired the drama. Land surrounding Waterside Theatre is now Port Raleigh National Historical Site, where the dwellings of the early colonists and the little earthen fort which guarded them have been restored. Scenes ia the dram* retmct authenticated event* to Elizabethan England and on Howoto Island, but Piayright Green does not attempt to solve the mystery of what happened to tha Hoanoke Colonists. The Cherokee Indian Reservation in the Great Smoky Mountains is the home of "Unto Thene Hills", its east Including descendants of the Cherokee leaden portrayed in the drama. Written by Kermit Hunter of Chapel Hill, "Unto These Hills" is beginning its 8th season as America's boxoffice champion among outdoor historical dramas. It is produced in Mountainside Theatre at the community of Cherokee, on U. S. 441 near the North Carolina entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. "Unto These Hills" is the story of the Cherokees' struggle to keep their homes, and the martyrdom of one of their leaders, Tsali, to permit his people to remain in the Great Smokies rather than be removed to the west across the "trail of tears". Daniel Boone, who' blazed a trail acrosa North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains before the Revolutionary War, is the central figure portrayed in "Horn in the West". In this play, Kermit Hunter tells the story of the westward movement of pioneers who carved homes out of the wilderness and defended their freedom in the Battle of Kings Mountain. The drama, which has played every summer since 1092, is staged in the Daniel Boone Theatre at the town of Boone, six miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway in Northwestern North Carolina. The dramas are produced by non-profit historical associations and draw much of their direction and talent from the Carolina Playmakers and the University of North Carolina's Department of Dramatic Art, Chapel Hill.
