Men on Boats by Jaclyn Backhaus is a wildly inventive, razor-sharp comedy that reimagines the 1869 expedition of John Wesley Powell and his crew as they chart the uncharted canyons of the American West. Ten explorers. Four boats. One Grand Canyon—and no men. In this daring, hilarious retelling, an ensemble of women and female-presenting performers take on the roles of rugged adventurers, flipping the script on history and exploring who gets to tell the story of discovery. Filled with humor, heart, and breathtaking theatricality, Men on Boats is a thrilling journey through uncharted territory—past and present.
