Gambit Magazine’s readers have voted The NOLA Project as the Best Local Theatre Company for the second consecutive year! Here is the Gambit writeup for TNP in 2017:
“All of New Orleans is a stage for The NOLA Project. The company has presented classic shows in familiar settings, from behind-the-Broadway-scenes comedy It’s Only a Play at Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre to A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden at New Orleans City Park. But the young company also has taken an adventurous approach, presenting a diverse selection of dramas, comedies and musicals in unconventional settings, from the shore of Lake Pontchartrain to a boutique hotel’s rooftop pool. In a dozen years, it has produced Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Love’s Labour’s Lost, Camille, Cloud 9, Assassins, 4000 Miles, Balm in Gilead and an array of new and commissioned works by local playwrights, such as Jim Fitzmorris’ A Truckload of Ink, about the demise of a New Orleans daily newspaper. It’s no wonder the company has caught our readers’ attention. The NOLA Project opens its 13th season in September at UNO’s Robert E. Nims Theatre with the offbeat musical Urinetown.”
