We cannot wait to see you at Strike at the Wind! Outdoor Drama this weekend, July 25 and 26. The production is one of the longest-running outdoor dramas in N.C. The drama debuted at the Lumbee Tribe Cultural Center in 1976.
The play tells the story of the Lowrie War, which occurred in 1865. It chronicles the life of Henry Berry Lowrie, who led a band of men in a seven-year battle after the Confederate Home Guard murdered Henry's father and brother. Henry and the Lowrie gang exacted a vigilante justice against the Home Guard of Robeson County and those who actively oppressed the Indian people. Though the Lowrie gang were regarded as outlaws and renegades by those on the wrong end of their guns, the American Indian people for whom they fought hail them to this day as Heroes!
The historical Adolph Dial Amphitheater is at the Lumbee Tribe Cultural Center at 628 Terry Sanford Drive, Maxton, NC 28364.
Tickets are $20.00 (plus sales tax & fees) and are valid for indicated nights. Please be sure that you are purchasing your intended performance date.
Tickets are available at Givens Performing Arts Center on the campus of UNC Pembroke at the box office 910.521.6361 or online at https://www.uncp.edu/.../special-events-and.../strike-wind
