Join us as we travel down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Our ten bold explorers invite you to journey with them as they experience the excitement, fear and anticipation of journeying one of the most recognized rivers in North America. The year is 1869 and this is the first government sanctioned expedition of the Green and Colorado rivers. Our intrepid explorers are civil war vets, trappers, hunters, map makers and even an excited Brit. Experience the highs and lows of their journey as they struggle to survive on an epic voyage that could only be accomplished through the strength and resilience of ten bold men, which coincidentally will all be played by women or those who identify as female. Come and see our actors take on these strong male roles with humor, grace and determination. And be prepared to experience their journey as you navigate with them through rapids, waterfalls and their relationships with each other.


Men on Boats is a ride worth taking.
