Writer/performer Trav S.D. has been presenting his original plays, vaudeville shows and solo works in NYC through his company Mountebanks since 1989. Last year, he produced and directed the first revival in history of the Marx Brothers’ 1924 Broadway show I’ll Say She Is, a sold-out hit at the New York International Fringe Festival. As a critic and arts journalist he has written for The New York Times, American Theatre, Time Out New York, the Village Voice, Reason, The Villager and his blog Travalanche. He is perhaps best known for his 2005 book No Applause, Just Throw Money: The Book That Made Vaudeville Famous, cited recently by Bette Midler as her favorite show biz book in People magazine!
