Greg & Dan Show Interviews

Greg and Dan welcome Dan Matisa and Samantha Macauley to preview Bradley University’s production of Men on Boats from April 17-21 at the Hartmann Center for the Performing Arts. 

Men on Boats captures the 1869 expedition of John Wesley Powell, a one-armed captain, and his crew of wild volunteers who set out to chart the course of the Colorado River. Jaclyn Backhaus’ true-ish tale is a loving and humorous take on this historic journey where the explorers are played only by women.
