MEN ON BOATS

By Jaclyn Backhaus

Ten explorers. Four boats. One Grand Canyon. In this true(ish) history, one-armed captain John Wesley Powell, and a crew of insane yet loyal volunteers, set out to chart the course of the Colorado River. A gender-bending retelling of the 1869 expedition, this delightful adventure dramedy celebrates the bravery, determination, and true grit of the historical explorers, in addition to the general foolishness of humanity. An “off-the- canyon-walls funny” adventure dramedy, MEN ON BOATS challenges traditional historical narrative while humorously exploring pertinent modern themes.
