Events on Central

Ron Crowder brings his new album, Moving at the Speed of Life, to FUSION 708 for a proper release show on Central. FUSION 708 is a small room, which means...

Two improvisers (or a full ensemble, depending on the night) build scenes from nothing in real time at one of the corridor's few dedicated performance spaces. The Box is a proper black-box theater, which means sight lines are good and the room is small enough that a bad show has nowhere to hide and a...

Three local acts share the Launchpad stage on a Friday night, with Shauna Dean Cokeland headlining above No Manners and Junkyard Butterfly. Launchpad's sound system punches harder than the room's size suggests, and the stage sightlines are good from almost anywhere on the floor.

Three bailaores, a cantaor, and a guitarist perform live flamenco in the tablao format, which means close quarters and no amplification between you and the footwork. Hotel Albuquerque's dedicated flamenco...

The Box is one of the few rooms on Central where improv comedy actually has a home, and this co-presentation with Improv Theatre suggests a more structured, rehearsed ensemble rather...
