About

Johnny Grant is A Rollicking Adventure Story of Mountain Men, Indian Braves, of Wars and Fortunes won and lost, of Rebellion, Betrayal, Love, Polygamy, and the Death and Birth of a Way of Life. And two guys in a 35 year old van crossing the Continental Divide, again and again. An ambitious theatrical and historical undertaking, Johnny Grant: A Rollicking Adventure Story blends traditional theatrical forms, video installation, unique puppetry, and robust physical performance. Upintheairs’ new play takes the audience on a thrilling ride into the intersection of History, the Search for Ancestry, and Good Story.
