SIXTY NINE SEVENTY follows the lives of four local alumni from different socio-economic backgrounds during the 1969-70 academic year. Amidst growing civil unrest, they address daily issues of misinformation and public manipulation, women's rights, racial equality and inherit racism, abortion access, political corruption and federal agencies monitoring activist groups. These characters are forced to examine their perspectives and look past what they're told, to define themselves and what they are willing to do for what they believe in.

  • SHARON played by Sam Crystal (BSU alum '15)
