MEN ON BOATS by Jaclyn Backhaus puts audiences squarely in the midst of this raucous, dangerous expedition to discover the Grand Canyon.  A mostly-true, gender-bent historical comedy that is brand new to Tucson.

 

"Men on Boats is marvelously destabilizing both as history and theater.  The stalwartness and selfishness of the adventurers - their cockiness and cluelessness - become biting satire when sent up by women."

- NEW YORK MAGAZINE

 

"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 insane yet loyal volunteers set out to chart the course of the Colorado River."

- DRAMATISTS PLAY SERVICE
