TRAV’LIN
MUSIC AND LYRICS BY J.C. JOHNSON & FRIENDS, BOOK BY GARY HOLMES AND ALLAN SHAPIRO
This warm-hearted musical follows the romantic travails of three couples in 1930′s Harlem – 50-, 30- and 20-somethings. The story centers on George, the older gentleman and a self-proclaimed expert on love, who meets his match when he befriends a down-on-her-luck stranger only to find out she is not the person she seems to be. The show’s jazz-inflected score rediscovers Harlem songwriter J. C. Johnson, who wrote with and for luminaries such as Fats Waller and Andy Razaf (“The Joint Is Jumpin’”) and singers Bessie Smith, Ethel Waters and Ella Fitzgerald.

THIS SERIES MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH A GENEROUS DONATION FROM
THE DOROTHY STRELSIN FOUNDATION
Would YOU like to submit a show for inclusion in the Developmental Reading Series?
Our mission here at York concerns musicals only; we do not accept submissions of plays. A completed script must be submitted, as well as a sound recording of at least most of the songs. While each submision will get a reply, we are unable to return your materials.
As we are one of the only theatres in the country which accepts unsolicited scripts, we receive around 400-500 scripts per year. We pride ourselves in properly evaluating each script, which takes time as we have a small staff and a loyal group of volunteer readers. It generally takes at least 6 to 12 months to get a script through our entire process.
Material should be submitted to:
