One Minute Playwriting Workshop

Come join us at Otter Chaos the 2nd Friday of August from 1-3 pm for a One Minute Playwriting workshop. One minute plays are challenging and fun to write. Playwrights will be invited to write TWO or THREE one minute plays (strictly one minute) on one relevant topic in the community. It can be: like how to protest in peace, how to deal with crime, social media issues and problems, bullying, why don't people read anymore, road rage, police brutality, why we hate other people, anything like that. Each play will need a beginning, middle and end. Genres can be  comedy, satire, irony, tragedy, heartache, anger and/or rage. To reserve your spot just drop me a line by clicking this button.

The Last Angry Brown Hat

by
Alfredo Ramos

Coming September 2026

Founded in Los Angeles in the late 1960s, the Brown Berets were an influential community-based social justice

organization which played a leading role in the Chicano Civil Rights Movement of the '60s and '70s, with history in Silver City.

 

Willie, JoJo, Louie, and Rude Boy all previously part of the movement, return to their hometown 25 years later for the funeral of a friend, and past member of The Brown Berets. Willie initiates a night of memories and conversations of the “old days”. As the night progresses, the different paths their lives have taken become obvious. It is a night that will reveal the realities of the present and speculation on a future that is yet to come. Will these personal revelations break them apart or only strengthen their bond further?

Sellout Run of

Woody Guthrie's

American Song

Woody Guthrie's American Song is an ensemble musical based on Guthrie's songs and writings. One of the most significant figures in American Folk Music, Guthrie's songs focus on themes of American Socialism and Anti-Fascism, inspiring several generations both politically and musically. We opened February 28 and sold out 6 consecutive shows. Thank you to all who attended. Our apologies to those who could not make it.
