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!
