Max Bridge, who plays the part of Wano in the Paul Green outdoor drama ``The Lost Colony,'' has been in the cast for three years.
``The Lost Colony'' is performed each summer at the Waterside Theatre on Roanoke Island in Manteo.
Max spends his summers living in Manteo to be in the play, but lives and attends school in Durham, N.C.
``I love acting,'' says Max. ``I like it because I get paid.
``It's good as a summer job. You get to meet a lot of people. Also you get to carry around props that are really cool.''
Max says he has only suffered stage fright one time. ``It was my first year when I was playing a colonist. I was supposed to say a line in the play and give some sassafras roots to my stage mom. I got stuck in the middle of the phrase because we had a big audience.''
