"Time Out New York" raved, it's "a thrilling, gender-flipped slice of Manifest Destiny." This subversive tale of 10 men, four boats and two rivers contains none of the above. Pack your gear for this 21st-century telling of 19th-century American explorer and one-armed Civil War veteran John Wesley Powell, who assembles a brawny band of soldiers, trappers and adventurers to explore the waterways of the American West. Inspired by Powell's actual travel log from 1869, Jaclyn Backhaus's nimble and ingenious script is provocative, laugh-out-loud theater, performed by a cast of women who infuse America's historic myths of male conquest with a sly blast of subtext. Catch "Men on Boats" at A.C.T.'s Strand Theater in San Francisco. [less-]

If you’re going on an international quest of historical and personal importance, you’ll need help. For your translator, you probably don’t want a guy with hilariously mangled English and hopelessly dated pop-culture references. His “blind” grandfather and flatulent dog named Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. probably won’t be much help either. But that’s the motley crew Jonathan, a young Jewish American, finds himself relying on in "Everything is Illuminated", the “riveting [and] masterful” ("Broadway World") adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s acclaimed novel. Follow Jonathan as he travels to the Ukraine and sets out with this quirky fellowship in search of the woman who saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Equally funny and poignant, this modern favorite makes its Bay Area premiere from Aurora Theatre Company. [less-]
