The Lost Colony · 33rd production season program

Souvenir program cover for Paul Green’s outdoor drama The Lost Colony — Joe Layton production, 33rd season (1973).

Byrd designed this program for the thirty-third annual production of The Lost Colony, one of the longest-running symphonic outdoor dramas.

The 1973 Joe Layton production souvenir cover shows a mother and child against a sunburst sky — “33rd PRODUCTION SEASON” and Official Souvenir Program on the blue footer band.

This is not a Tony Awards program: the “thirty-third” in the Poster Child caption refers to The Lost Colony’s production season, not the Antoinette Perry Awards.
