Men on Boats
by Mary Moody Northen Theatre

Nov. 08 - Nov. 18, 2018
Thursdays-Sundays

Ten explorers. Four boats. One Grand Canyon. Men on Boats is the true-ish story 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. Join our explorers as they argue about directions, navigate rapids, and risk it all. MMNT welcomes guest director Shawn Sides (Rude Mechanicals) to steer this adventurous production. 

 

“…off the canyon-walls funny. Paddle or portage your own boat to the theatre — but get there.”  — Variety
