Men On Boats
By Jaclyn Backhaus
Directed by Caitlin Kane
April 18 – 27
Ten explorers. Four boats. One Grand Canyon. "Men On Boats" is the true(ish) story of John Wesley Powell’s 1869 expedition down the Grand and Colorado Rivers with nine amateur explorers. This comedic feminist retelling of the explorers’ death-defying adventure raises urgent questions about whose histories are told, whose perspectives are left out, and how historical narratives shape contemporary understandings of belonging.
"Men On Boats" is presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service.
