Question the Myth of Manifest Destiny with Ten Thousand Things Theater’s Men on Boats

Get ready to rock the boat with Ten Thousand Things Theater’s latest production, Men on Boats. This isn’t your average history lesson; it’s a raucous, high-energy reimagining of the 1869 Powell expedition through the Grand Canyon. Watch as a cast of explorers—played entirely by people the original history books ignored—navigates treacherous rapids to “claim” land that was never theirs to own. By blending sharp wit with a fearless critique of Manifest Destiny and traditional masculinity, this adventure invites you to see the American West through a brand-new lens. Don’t miss this thrilling ride—performances run through March 15, and you can secure your seats now at tenthousandthings.org.
