Centralia – veterans of New York improvisation return to Chashama Theater The show includes a full evening of entertainment: 8:00 p.m. – Sketch comedy performed by special guests The Royal We 8:30 p.m. – Centralia 9:30 p.m. – Afterglow with DJs A cross between Blue Man Group and Monty Python – Centralia – is a completely unscripted show that consistently delights audiences with seemingly limitless “real” moments born from comedic characters, mythological worlds and themes that pulse with primitive energy. Centralia is also pleased to host special guests – The Royal We. The Royal We, one of New York’s hottest young sketch comedy troupes, lampoons American politics and culture with original scenes and songs that Offoffonline calls “some of the smartest New York comedy this year... reminiscent of the MTV sketch comedy gem, ‘The State,’ and Comedy Central's, ‘The Kids in the Hall.’”  From The War on Terror to gay parenting, nothing is sacred.
