Men on Boats

Mainstage Theatre presents Men on Boats, a contemporary play that reinterprets John Wesley Powell's 1869 expedition down the Colorado River. This innovative show features an all-female and non-binary cast portraying the ten male explorers, offering a fresh, comedic, and often insightful look at historical narratives and adventure. It's a smart, fast-paced production that plays with gender and perspective in a unique way. This performance takes place on Friday, April 23, 2027, at Mainstage Theatre in Jonesboro, AR. The intimate setting of Mainstage Theatre is well-suited for this kind of ensemble piece, allowing the audience to fully engage with the clever writing and dynamic performances. It's a great pick for theatergoers who enjoy historical plays with a modern, subversive twist.
