The Travelers
Written by Luis Alfaro
Directed by José Carrasquillo
February 11 - 28, 2027
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. “Laugh-out-loud hilarious, magical storytelling…” – People’s World
