The NOLA Project, an ensemble-based theatre company focused on presenting new and classic works of theatre often with large casts in unique and immersive settings throughout the city of New Orleans, announces its 15th Anniversary Season: This Way to Adventure. For its 15th Season, the company will present four exciting and provocative plays, three of which are world premieres.

Friday night marked opening night of The NOLA Project's first musical in years. What did they choose? URINETOWN, THE MUSICAL of course. What else would/could a cutting edge theatre company who is known for occasionally pushing the envelope invite its audience members to experience other than a perfectly dystopian and a hilariously dark musical about a town whose residents must pay to pee? Yes, you heard that right. Pay. To. Pee.

This past weekend was the second in a three week run of Stephen Schwartz's PIPPIN at Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre.  The show opened their 2016-2017 season in Le Petit's 100th year, which is something to celebrate in and of itself.  New Orleans is full of history and Le Petit has certainly been a wonderful part of that history for a whole century!  So before I go any further… congratulations to the Le Petit family, and happy 100th birthday!

NOLA Project founding Artistic Director and immersive theatre mastermind, Andrew Larimer, returns with an all-new outdoor experience set in New Orleans' CBD neighborhood. 'Exterior. Pool-Night' will combine site-specific theatre with multimedia and technology to tell the story of a play about a doomed movie. Scroll down for a sneak peek at the show!

As The NOLA Project theatre company embarks on its twelfth season in New Orleans, we find our national and local landscape on the precipice of great change.

Ten clowns walk into a bar. This is not a joke. This is the premise of Adam Szymkowicz's new noir comedy "Clown Bar", brought to life at the Little Gem Saloon by New Orleans based independent theatre company, The NOLA Project. A script that truly bends genres, "Clown Bar" combines the melodramatic acting of classic film noir, the intensity and action of a Quentin Tarantino movie, and good ole' fashioned circus slapstick.

The NOLA Project theatre company is proud to announce the four newest members of our prestigious ensemble. Joining the current roster are 2015 inductees Sarah Chatelain, Kali Russell, Ashley Ricord Santos, and Michael Aaron Santos. These four individuals, representing actors, writers, directors, and stage managers have all made appearances or worked on several NOLA Project productions. We're honored to have them officially join our ranks as company members.

With a raw authenticity that derives from the astute and inspired direction of Scott Johnson, the cast of Desert Foothills Theatre's production of THE CRUCIBLE gives weight and urgency to Arthur Miller's allegory.

This spring, the New Orleans Museum of Art and the NOLA Project present their ninth collaboration, giving new life to a classic story in the New Orleans Museum of Art's (NOMA) Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden. In May, the award-winning, independent theatre company will transform the garden into Sherwood Forest in "Robin Hood: Thief, Brigand."

A cast of twelve actors will transform themselves into nearly 100 characters in Peter and the Starcatcher, ('Starcatcher'), the second production this season from Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre. The Tony Award-winning Starcatcher opened on Broadway just over two years ago and has been described as a 'wildly theatrical, hilarious and innovative retelling of how a miserable orphan came to be the boy who never grew up.'

TV One expands Wednesday night programming with the all-new docu-series Hollywood Divas on Wednesday, October 8th at 10PM/ET.

As the first of five productions in its 10th anniversary season, local independent theatre company, The NOLA Project, will present the stage adaptation of the classic story, 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. Based on the seminal 1960s novel by Ken Kesey, 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' left an indelible mark on the literature, theatre, and film of our time.

Bravo has yet to make an official casting announcement for the series' next season.
