The Lake Matoaka Amphitheater holds another story of “Glory,” deterioration and rebirth. The beautiful lakeside setting was home to Paul Green’s outdoor drama, “The Common Glory,” depicting Revolutionary-era Williamsburg, from 1947-1976. The amphitheater began to decay when the play ceased, and grass grew through the seats. Now, thanks to an anonymous donor (rumored to be a certain actor or actress who once performed in the “Common Glory”), the amphitheatre has been restored and even improved beyond its original condition, providing a spectacular venue for outdoor drama and concerts.
