Comarama

Comarama (COMedy, ARt, and drAMA) was a weekly variety show featuring the Outlet's in-house theater troupe "The Cellar Dwellers". Each show consisted of original comedy sketches, dramatic acts, musical and art numbers, a regular opening short film, and every show was followed by theater improv open to the audience. The Outlet also produced and staged additional Comaramas featuring its teen acting troup, the Jr. Dwellers.
