Photos: First look at New Albany High School Theatre Department’s MEN ON BOATS
NA Theatre presents #MenOnBoats this weekend in the Mini Theatre
In 1869, ten explorers set off to chart the Green and Colorado Rivers, under the guidance of John Wesley Powell, a one-armed Civil War Veteran and personal friend of President Grant, a government-sanctioned journey following in the footsteps of the deserters, lone adventurers, and countless indigenous people who have previously braved the wild rapids leading through Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico, and through the most dangerous waterway of all: the Grand Canyon. Along the way they make friends, they get on each other’s nerves, they suffer loss of boat and supplies, they doubt, struggle, and name mountains after themselves, they posture and pretend, they quit while they’re ahead, and they repeatedly brave dangerous rapids to reach the other side. As boats capsize and supplies are lost, as belts tighten and nerves fray, the company draws together as a band of brothers.

Next up is the 5th Annual Shakespeare Under the Stars production, Return to the Forbidden Planet. Often billed as "Shakespeare's forgotten rock and roll masterpiece", Return to the Forbidden Planet is a jukebox musical by Bob Carlton based on the 1956 science fiction film Forbidden Planet, which, in turn, is loosely based on Shakespeare's play The Tempest. The show features a score of 1950s and 1960s rock and roll classics and dialogue largely adapted from well-known passages from Shakespeare.
Return to the Forbidden Planet. Which will run July 31 & August 1 at the McCoy Center for the Arts and August 2 at the Hinson Amphitheater. For more info, visit https://www.facebook.com/NewAlbanyTheatreBoosters
