Theatre/Theater (Los Angeles, CA)
Set against the backdrop of the Apollo 11 lunar landing, this play focuses on one of the most tumultuous years in American history. 1969 examines an awakening sexual freedom, growing atheism, the vigor of the conservative right, the cult of the Kennedy complex, the rise and subsequent rapture of television, and the booming prosperity of the United States. The story follows a trio of real-life characters including Mary Jo Kopechne of the mysterious Chappaquiddick ride, future advisor to George W. Bush, William J. Murray, and Junior, the 12 year old son of astronaut Michael Collins. A fantastic and frenetic journey, this GatChu Productions theater presentation will cause you to rethink (or relive) this wondrous year. Learn more…
