THANK YOU TO EVERYONE
INVOLVED IN
MEN ON BOATS

Bell Road Barn Players  is excited to present our Spring 2022 play “Men On Boats” by Jaclyn Backhaus.

Adventure, bravery and humorous absurdity…led by an all-female cast, Men on Boats is the true-ish story of John Wesley Powell’s expedition of the Colorado River in 1869.  Guided by a one-armed captain, the outlandish but loyal crew encounters various disasters, conflicts and harrowing adventures along the way.  Spinning historical, theatrical, and gender conventions on their heads, this subversive tale of ten men, four boats, and two rivers contains none of the above.
