Ten explorers. Four boats. One Grand Canyon. Men On Boats is the true-ish history of an 1869 expedition, when a one-armed captain and a crew of foolhardy yet loyal volunteers set out to chart the course of the Colorado River.
Performed by a dynamic, nimble cast of female and nonbinary actors, Jaclyn Backhaus's rollicking comedy skewers the American myth of man-ifest destiny and challenges conventional notions about who gets to make history.
