Donald Travis Stewart - known professionally as Trav S.D. - is an American author, journalist, playwright and stage performer. In 2008, he launched the arts and culture blog Travalanche, which features thousands of biographies of vaudeville, burlesque, circus, sideshow, cinema, and radio performers and other show business professionals, as well as related news, reviews, and commentary. It is a resource I turn to all the time when I want the lowdown on American cultural figures, great and small. He is the author of No Applause, Just Throw Money, a wonderful book about the history of vaudeville.
The theatrical history of the great 1876 Centennial Exposition – one of the biggest entertainment events ever mounted in Philadelphia.
