“The Bear and the Cub”

This first play recorded in the United States was presented August 27, 1665. The Accomack County Court at Pungoteague heard charges against three men “for acting a play,” ordered inspection of costumes and script, but found the men “not guilty.”

Marker is at the intersection of Adams Crossing Road and US 13, on the right when traveling east on Adams Crossing Road.
