outdoor drama

Open-air theatrical production

Outdoor drama refers to theatrical productions staged in open-air amphitheaters, typically dramatizing historical events or regional legends associated with the performance location.

These productions are especially common in the American South and often run seasonally as tourist attractions: The outdoor drama tells the story of the Lost Colony of Roanoke.

The term also covers Shakespeare festivals and other repertory theater performed outdoors.
