Rollin� on the river: 'Men on Boats' premieres at Theatrikos as part of ARTx

Art imitates life in the Theatrikos Theater Company’s production of Jaclyn Backhaus� “Men on Boats.� The widely acclaimed play takes inspiration from the journey of John Wesley Powell during the mid-19th century. As part of the inaugural ARTx festival, Theatrikos is set to take its audience on a voyage down a river of comedy and comradery.

Backhaus� play takes creative liberties with history while simultaneously adhering as closely as possible to Powell’s published record “The Exploration of the Colorado River and Its Canyons.� In both the play and real life, the one-armed Powell and nine other men took four boats to traverse the Green and Colorado Rivers with the expedition ending at Lake Mead. Along the way, the men face trials and tribulations that create a compelling blend of comedy and drama.
