Theater fundraising bounces with new spirit this Saturday with the The NOLA Project’s campaign to help fund their newest production, Catch the Wall. The company needs to secure some final funding to cover the multi-media production, which tackles the previously unexplored intersection of charter schools and bounce music in the City. 

On the eve of the 2012 presidential election, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, presented by Harms Way Theatre Company at The Mid City Theatre, offers a musical parody of one of the country's more colorful leaders. Despite that gallant statue in the middle of New Orleans, Old Hickory's legacy is still debatable among historians: American Hitler or greatest President? 

NoDef Theatre Critic Jim Fitmorris continues the conversation about Mardi Gras and the New Orleans theatre community by proposing a four-act roadmap for moving local stage productions out of the shadows of tractor floats.

The NOLA Project is the recipient of numerous accolades for their theatre productions, including the highly touted production of Romeo & Juliet at NOMA. However, success does not mean they don't have to use the bathroom on MArdi Gras day. Enter, they're annual fundraiser "Gee Whiz." Today, they will provide ticketholders, clean bathrooms, cheap drinks, and food at BMC.

Squeamish, easily offended, or given to clutching those imaginary pearls when things get strange? If so, The NOLA Project’s production of Martin McDonagh’s A Behanding in Spokane is not for you.

‘Tis the season for brutal choices.
