☀️Only four performances left—Don’t miss this thought-provoking and heartfelt production of “The Last Angry Brown Hat,” running thru March 1st at Plaza de la Raza’s Margo Albert Theatre.

🎭A powerful night of theater that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.
 
Four former Brown Berets reunite after years apart, gathering in an old garage filled with memories of their youthful revolutionary spirit. What starts as a simple reunion soon unravels into a raw, emotional confrontation about identity, betrayal, brotherhood and the unfinished business of the Chicano Movement.
 
What happens when the fight for justice fades into the past? What happens when old wounds resurface? Decades later, this story is more relevant than ever.
