Men on Boats

By Jaclyn Backhaus February 21, 22, 23, 28 & 29 and March 1 Edison Theatre Director: Andrea Urice

 

Men on Boats recounts the exhilarating story of John Wesley Powell’s expedition down the Green and Colorado rivers.  The history of this 19th Century journey may have been the exclusive domain of men, but Jaclyn Backhaus calls for casting “…racially diverse actors who are female identifying, trans-identifying, gender fluid, and/or non-gender conforming.”   This dynamic and very funny piece of writing is a provocative lens for re-examining an extraordinary American moment.
