BIO

TRAVIS JOHNS: (ACTOR, WRITER, DIRECTOR, PRODUCER)
Travis is a graduate of Wake Forest University, where he received a full athletic scholarship to play football. After a career ending injury, Travis won a prestigious scholarship to study abroad in London, England.

Upon returning to the states, Travis, naturally, became a fly-fishing guide in Montana, where his love for writing and story-telling blossomed while catching trout, riding horses, hiking mountains, and working as a ranch hand.

On a whim and with no experience, Travis moved to Los Angeles, and for the past twenty-five years he’s made his living as an actor, director, novelist, and screenwriter, with multiple screenplays being optioned by the likes of Kim Zubick (The Zookeeper’s Wife, Togo) and Alan Ladd, Jr.(Bravheart, Gone Baby Gone).

Travis has also written, directed, and produced two short films, including “3,650 Days” which was a festival hit that was shot by Reed Morano (Emmy winner “The Handmaid’s Tale).

As a character actor, he has appeared in over 80 films, television shows and plays. Currently, Travis is starring as Boo Radley in the first National Broadway Tour of “To Kill A Mockingbird,” written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Bartlett Sher.

Review: TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD at John F. Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts

Seeing To Kill a Mockingbird, now at the Kennedy Center, isn’t the same experience as the novel you were quizzed on in high school or the classic 1962 film. Aaron Sorkin’s script and Bartlett Sher’s direction gain heightened context and nuance from the rise in racial violence in the last decade. The national tour with Richard Thomas as Atticus Finch, which visited D.C. in June 2022, is again at the Kennedy Center though August 27.

Review: HARPER LEE'S TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD Commands 'ALL Rise' At Straz Center For The Performing Arts

Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird was adapted for the stage by Aaron Sorkin and opened on Broadway at the Schubert Theatre in December of 2018. The play is set in 1930s Alabama and follows the story of Atticus Finch, a small-town lawyer in his defense trial of Tom Robinson, an African American man wrongfully accused of rape. However, Sorkin’s adaptation differs from the book by Lee, in which we see Atticus as the protagonist here, unlike the portrayal of Scout in Lee’s novel. Witnessing Atticus as the protagonist of the story we go on an emotional journey, and are able to see the change in Atticus as the show progresses. As Sorkin developed his adaptation, the production was faced with its own legal disputes. One being with the Lee estate in regards to its faithfulness to the original narrative, and the other to exclusivity rights regarding the use of the script by Christopher Sergel.
