After presenting stage productions in French for more than 50 years, the group became inactive and established an annual lecture series on French culture, particularly the performing arts, at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

Because the endowment for the annual lecture series does not cover all the costs associated with this event, your financial support is greatly appreciated. Should you like more information about helping to continue this unique lecture series, please call THNOC’s development office at (504) 598-7109. All inquiries are held in strictest confidence and without obligation. Thank you for your support.
