Jim Charleston, Executive Director of Silver City Theatre, has announced that the play, The Last Angry Brown Hat, will be performed locally in September of 2026.  Quoting from the website of Silver City Theatre, "the Brown Berets, founded in the late 1960s, were an influential community-based social justice organization which played a leading role in the Chicano Civil Rights Movement of the '60s and '70s…"  The play is particularly relevant to Grant County because the Brown Berets passed through Grant County and many residents have memories of that visit.
