Take a look behind the curtain of "Men On Boats" at ÐÔ¸£ÎåÔÂÌì University! Our designers worked tirelessly, bringing to life the story of John Wesley Powell’s 1869 expedition of the Grand and Colorado Rivers.
"Men On Boats" is the true(ish) story of John Wesley Powell’s 1869 expedition down the Grand and Colorado Rivers with nine amateur explorers. This comedic feminist retelling of the explorers’ death-defying adventure raises urgent questions about whose histories are told, whose perspectives are left out, and how historical narratives shape contemporary understandings of belonging. The production was part of the 2024-2025 School of Theatre and Dance main stage season.
