Join us for a discussion of the play by Jaclyn Backhaus, “Men on Boats”.

SYNOPSIS: “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.” – Rebecca VerNooy, Director of Education, Tantrum Theater, Ohio University School of Theater.

Our discussion leader will be Tyler Adams, a PhD candidate in Ohio University's School of Interdisciplinary Arts.
