âAn R Rated Christmas Carolâ
The NOLA Project typically does a play reading of a holiday show, usually an irreverent one. The theater company closes out its year and Podplay series with âAn Rated R Christmas Carol.â It includes the familiar characters from Charles Dickensâ classic story, but itâs got more of a Mel Brooks comedy take thatâs R-rated, not X, says author and company artistic director A.J. Allegra. The show is a radio play currently available as a podcast on nolaproject.com.
