THE TRAVELERS

by Luis Alfaro
Directed by Catherine Castellanos
restaged for LTC by Sean San José

Produced in association with The Magic Theatre with home resident company- Campo Santo

Humorous and poignant, The Travelers takes place in a monastery alongside Highway 99 in Grangeville, California, population 496 and home to migrant workers. When a stranger stumbles in with a gunshot wound, he is nursed by the brothers of the 936-year-old Carthusian Order — even as the Archdiocese is cutting financial support, casting a shadow. Funny and heartfelt, filled with ritual and absurd touches, The Travelers explores the brothers’ struggles against poverty and the complexities of human connection.

Reviews

“POETIC IN WAYS THAT ARE VIVIDLY THEATRICAL… Seeds are planted that flower in the imagination after the show has ended.” — Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times

“LAUGH-OUT–LOUD HILARIOUS, MAGICAL STORYTELLING… carries us on a journey of profound reflection and healing as we discover human connection in the most unlikely places… masterful, original, live theater.”
— Eric Gordon, People’s World

“STAGE RAW TOP 10… BRILLIANT… at once farcical and profound, bitterly funny yet terribly sad. Spiritually yearning yet intensely of this earth.” — Deborah Klugman, Stage Raw

“HAUNTING, RICHLY EVOCATIVE… intensely collaborative stylistic staging… an amazing work of art.”
— Travis Holder, Ticket Holders LA

“DIALOGUE OF OTHERWORLDLY, BREATHTAKING VULNERABILITY… forces us as viewers to grapple with what it means to seek a spiritual life in this most difficult time.” — Robert St. Martin, The Hollywood Times

“DESCRIPTION–DEFYING. It’s absurdist but accessible, deep but hilarious. It’s about religion and identity, life and death, California and the universe.” — Laura Foti-Cohen, Larchmont Buzz
