Rough Draughts is The NOLA Project's FREE play reading series held at local bars, breweries and watering holes.
Since 2017, our mission with Rough Draughts has been to help aspiring actors and playwrights become more involved with the New Orleans theatre community while exposing TNP's already adventurous audience to new and unique plays that entertain and engage. We welcome script submissions HERE. Thank you for supporting new, BOLD theatre in New Orleans!

STILL LIFE WITH JULIANNE AND BICYCLE
Tuesday, May 6 • 7:30pm | The Broadside Pavilion
In the course of her various errands, Julianne discovers her ex, Hank, is back in town. She's still reeling from the death of her mother whose presence is following her around. Is she ready to get back into it, if that is even what she wants? And what does Hank want? And why do people keep having epiphanies about their lives wherever she goes? A tale of small-town life, love and grief.
Featuring: James Bartelle, Natalie Boyd, Keith Claverie, Leslie Claverie, Benjamin Dougherty, Meredith Owens, Matthew Thompson, Anna Toujas, Megan Whittle, Kristin Witt
