Rough Draughts is The NOLA Project's FREE play reading series
held at local bars, breweries and watering holes.
Our mission with Rough Draughts is 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!

VIGIL by Nancy Kissam
December 8 | 7pm | The Domino
Guests and family members stream in an out of the Enderly home while family patriarch Raymond lay dying in the dining room. Issues arise with each visitor and offspring of Ray and wife Celeste. No one is safe as Celeste’s clandestine drinking becomes less secret, her son Russell becomes more abusive and daughter, Robin, brings home – for the first time – her black girlfriend. There is nothing like death to bring out the best and worst in us all. And the Enderlys are no different.
