I’m kind of curious... is this a “conservative” or “political” issue? Do we care about this theater burning? Should we?

it’s in the culture/society section. the mere existence of that section of FR should answer your question.

I think its a cultural issue. I’m glad my family saw the play when we did. Its a facinating story of the early settling of our country.

It’s news........

Thank you Joya for posting this, I had only seen early reports of this.

The colony is a part of American history. The theater - I've been there several times - and the "Croatan" play are also a part of our heritage. Bottom line is it's just as "conservative" or "political" as the NASCAR, space, sports, etcetera threads.

FR and FReepers are far more than a political board. We're a community. When things started FR was mostly computer geeks gathering online - Prodigy IIRC - to discuss everything from soup to nuts...or in the case of leftists...Nutz, LOL! I'm glad this thread was posted.

The oldest outdoor drama in the nation? The history of the first English colony in the New World? Started such men as Andy Griffith on their paths? Yeah, you should probably care just a bit. Every time I see it it gets better. I try to see it at least once every 2-3 years

Truly very sad. This is an enduring historical masterpiece of a program. Saw it when I was just a little girl, when some of those ‘vintage costumes’ we fairly new. It was a memorable evening, riveting performance. Greatly influenced my love of American history.
