'Sixty Nine Seventy': Play by Alumnus Michael Eichler - November 18

Buffalo State alumnus and playwright Michael Eichler, ’72, along with director Kyle LoConti, will collaborate with Buffalo State Theater Department student performers to bring a reading of his play Sixty Nine Seventy to the LoRusso Alumni and Visitor Center on Saturday, November 18, from noon to 2:30 p.m.

Sixty Nine Seventy follows the lives of four Buffalo State students from different socioeconomic backgrounds during 1969–1970. Amid growing civil unrest, they address daily issues of misinformation and public manipulation, women’s rights, racial equality and inherent racism, abortion access, political corruption, and federal surveillance of activist groups. These characters are forced to examine their perspectives and look past what they’re told in order to define themselves and what they are willing to do for what they believe in.

Tickets are $15 per person and are available online. Students can attend free. The event includes lunch and a private conversation with the playwright after the reading. For more information, please call the Alumni Engagement Office at (716) 878-6102.
