This play takes a fun and creative approach to telling the story of Powell’s Expedition to chart and map large swaths of the Colorado and Green Rivers, including being the first white men to raft through the Grand Canyon. The twist is that all the parts are played by women! Much of the text is taken directly from Powell’s journals, giving the audience rare contemporaneous perspectives on American expansionism. This is a funny and innovative play that celebrates the beauty of America while also questioning the ethics and impact of its colonialism.
