Allen Contemporary Theatre is thrilled to announce its upcoming production of the play Men on Boats, directed by Martin Mussey, running January 23rd through February 8th, 2026. Performances are Friday/Saturday at 8 PM, Sundays at 3 PM.
Ten explorers. Four boats. One Grand Canyon. Men on Boats by Jacklyn Backhaus is based on the true(ish) story of an 1869 expedition through the Grand Canyon, when one-armed captain John Wesley Powell and his crew of insane, yet loyal, volunteers set out to chart the course of the Colorado River. Men on Boats is a comedy that turns the American myth of man-ifest destiny on its edge and challenges conventional notions about who gets to make history.
Men on Boats is Rated R for Strong Adult Language and Drinking.
