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.
With the adventurers being played by an ensemble of women and gender-expansive actors, Men on Boats reframes masculine arrogance as a farcical, thrilling exploration of everything that goes into, well, exploration.
