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. Jaclyn Backhaus' Men on Boats (re)imagines history with women front and center. Run time is 80 minutes. No intermission.
Thursday, Apr 4, 7-8:30 PM
