Baylor Theatre’s first play of the semester may be called “Men on Boats,” but you won’t find any men on stage. The production, which opened Tuesday night in the Hooper-Schaefer Fine Arts Center, is a comedic telling of John Wesley Powell’s 1869 expedition. It follows his men as they navigate the Colorado River and face various dangers.

“’Three Sisters’ is ultimately about remaining hopeful for the future, despite the boredom and anguish of everyday life,” Waco senior Kayla Bush said. “The characters in this play may feel a little foreign because of how they look and speak, but I think audiences will be surprised to realize that their characters are funny, hypocritical, messy and truly just human.”
