Men on Boats
March 4 5:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Overview
Ten Thousand Things (TTT) presents Jaclyn Backhaus’s raucous and adventurous play Men on Boats at Rochester Art Center for one night only. This special performance marks the company’s first-ever production of the show, directed by Joy Dolo in her TTT directing debut.
The show follows a crew of explorers sent down a river by the American government to name and claim things that aren’t theirs to own — and they soon hit rough waters. Riffing on the history of an 1869 expedition through the Grand Canyon and played by a cast of people the first journey left out, Men on Boats is a raucous adventure that questions our mixed-up myths of masculinity and Manifest Destiny.
