Men on Boats
By Jaclyn Backhaus
Directed by Mary Beth Easley
1869 - Four boats chart a course down the Colorado River toward the Grand Canyon. Led by John Wesley Powell, the eclectic and confident explorers face treacherous conditions, raging rapids, and ever-depleting rations. Jaclyn Backhaus’s comedy Men on Boats explores masculinity, bravery, and legacy in this atypical history play—all while in boats!
Please be advised that this play contains strong language, gun shots, and theatrical weapons.
