James Harrison Monaco's Travels will premiere Off-Broadway later this spring. Playing Ars Nova, the narrative collection will run March 20 through April 20, with opening night set for April 2.

Directed by Andrew Scoville, the travelogue set to music reimagines the art of oral traditions for the 21st century in the face of global movement and communication.

Travels will star El Beh (Bark of Millions), Ashley De La Rosa (Mean Girls, (pray), Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), Mehry Eslaminia (1776), Monaco (The Conversationalists), and John Murchison (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, Oratorio for Living Things).

In addition to Scoville, the creative team for Travels will include music supervisor Or Matias, set designer Diggle, costume designer Sarita Fellows, lighting designer Jeanette Oi-Suk Yew, sound designer Nick Kourtides, projections designer Stefania Bulbarella, and arranger and additional music composer JJJJJerome Ellis. The production has been cast by The Telsey Office / Destiny Lilly, and Esti Bernstein is the production stage manager. 

Said Artistic Director Jason Eagan, “James Harrison Monaco has been an integral part of the Ars Nova community for the last decade. In that time, we’ve seen his approach to storytelling organically evolve and embrace new forms. Travels brings it all together, capturing the adventure and euphoria we can all find in the world and each other, if we’re willing to search for it. Andrew Scoville has assembled an extraordinary team of collaborators who have created a transporting experience that I can’t wait to share with audiences.”
