“A brief catalogue of his qualities: Travis leads with ease and follows with grace. He is uncommonly compassionate, profoundly curious and infinitely patient. He is smart and imaginative, moral and conscientious, trustworthy and generous.  And fun.  In an era obsessed with style over substance, Travis Greisler is The Real Thing - a bundle of talent and a great guy.  If I didn’t know him well, Travis would probably be my hero. I’m luckier than that; he’s my friend.”

writer of The Cher Show, Jersey Boys, and Peter and the Starcatcher

NEWS & UPDATES

"If you missed out on “Once,” or merely want to see whether it’s as good as you remember, Pennsylvania’s Bucks County Playhouse is giving it a warm-hearted revival directed by Travis Greisler that’s as satisfying as the original production, maybe even more so."

- Terry Teachout, Wall Street Journal


“Working with Travis through the development process on The Cher Show has been a joy. During this time, I have also been able to attend several of Travis’ other projects and I always walk away amazed at his vision and his sense of detail. The creative process is full of landmines and I have watched Travis navigate personalities, budgets and creative issues with smart, efficient and creative solutions. Travis is more than a team player. He is a team leader.”
