Dare Night

The Final Lost Colony Dress Rehearsal

Volunteers collecting food donations at the 2009 Dare Night

Dare county residents are encouraged to join us for a complimentary performance of The Lost Colony – while helping the Outer Banks food pantries replenish their supplies – during the show’s annual “Dare Night” performance. Admission to these performances is free for Dare County residents who attend and bring at least two can goods or two dry goods as a donation for the Outer Banks food pantries.

“We are pleased to welcome free-of-charge, Dare County residents who bring food items to the theatre,” said Paul Tine, chairman of the Roanoke Island Historical Association. “It’s a wonderful chance to see a first-rate performance, while helping our local food pantries provide emergency assistance to families in need.”

The drive will benefit food pantries associated with Beach Food Pantry in Kill Devil Hills, Cape Hatteras United Methodist Men, Lifeboat Community Church in Salvo, and Mount Olivet United Methodist Church of Manteo. In addition to a food or dry good donation, residents are required to show proof of Dare County residency, such as a driver’s license, voter registration card or utility bill. Pre-performance donation collection begins at 5:30 pm. Tickets are distributed on a first-come-basis so be ready and bearing canned food or dry good gifts in order to get your ticket during Dare Nights for the exciting production.

Recommended items for the food drive include canned vegetables, fruits, meats, soups and beans; tomato and pasta products; peanut butter and jelly; paper products, such as toilet paper and paper towels; and pancake mix and syrup.  Dare night is our final dress rehearsal before opening, and is not open to the wider public.
