 Joe
Layton *
(Class of 1964-1984) – When this rising
Broadway choreographer and director was approached
about directing The Lost Colony in 1963, he had
never heard of the production or Roanoke Island. He
soon fell in love with both and ended up directing
the outdoor drama for 20 years. Joe’s resume
included the Tony Award-wining Broadway hits:
George M! and No Strings, plus Bette Midler’s
Clams-on-the-Half Shell Revue, Barnum and Woman of
the Year. He directed the films Annie, Richard Pryor
– Live on the Sunset Strip and Thoroughly Modern
Millie.
He also created and staged shows for a
number of musical entertainers, including four
television specials for Barbra Streisand. |
