The Department of Theatre and Dance at Texas State University will stage Jaclyn Backhaus' "Men on Boats" March 5-8 in the PSH Foundation Studio Theatre.
Showtimes for the production will be 7:30 p.m. March 5-7, with a 2 p.m. matinee March 8.
“Men on Boats” is the “true-ish” story of 10 explorers on four boats charting the course of the Colorado River in 1869. Guided by a one-armed captain, the outlandish but loyal crew encounters disaster, conflict and harrowing adventure along the way. Keeping with the tradition of Backhaus’ acclaimed play, the cast is composed entirely of women.
Admission is $15 for adults, $13 for children and $8 for Texas State students.
Tickets are available by phone at (512) 245-6500 or online at www.txstatepresents.com.
