MEN IN BOATS floats into MSU’s Studio 60

In May 1869, ten skilled yet misfit adventurers set off to chart the Green and Colorado Rivers on the first official government-sponsored expedition of the Grand Canyon. Men on Boats (re)imagines the exploits of Major John Wesley Powell and his crew, offering a very contemporary perspective on the history of male conquest and westward expansion. 

Taking her inspiration from Powell’s actual journals, playwright Jaclyn Backhaus throws gender, historical and theatrical expectations overboard. Performed with a wink by a racially and gender diverse cast, the play takes audiences on a raucous ride down the rapids to remind us that how we represent the past impacts how we will be inspired to make history in the future.

SEXUAL POLITICS - Arena Theatre
 
11/11-12 - The MSU Department of Theatre is proud to present a unique and timely experience with THE SEXUAL POLITICS SERIES, under Artistic Direction from Alexis Black and Assistant Direction from Philip Effiong. This performance of published and ensemble-created works explores how theatre, as an art form, has illuminated, illustrated and even misrepresented issues of discrimination, empowerment and abuse on several levels. Altogether moving, thought-provoking and sometimes humorous, the exploration of these complex issues is brought to the Arena Theatre on November 11th and 12th. 

A major focus of the performance will subsequently be on strengthening community and communication, with interactive post-show discussions led by Professors Black and Effiong alongside campus community leaders with experience in supporting and advocating for safety and survivors. Audience members should note that in order to address these topics in a meaningful way, the show will cover subject matter that includes stalking, gender-based violence, non-consent, homophobia, and more. With an understanding that these depictions may trigger unwanted reactions, safe space facilitators will be available throughout the show for assistance.

Run time is approximately 80 minutes, followed by a post-show discussion of 20-30 minutes.
