The Aztlan Spanish/English Dictionary defines "Chusma" as:

(1) n "Undesirables"
(2) v "Undocumented"
(3) n "Outcasts"
(4) v "Outlaws"; usage: "Mira Chusma!"; trans., "There goes the Neighborhood"


Chusma is the nation's freshest young Latino/Chicano comedy trio, comprised of Gustavo Chavez, Alberto Ibarra del Alto and Marisol Torres. The company embraces a theatrical heritage encompassing neo-vaudevillian, early Mexican carpa, the 60's Chicano theatre of resistance, and the oral traditions of Pre-Cuahtemoc societies without skimping on the laughs. Their show brings Anglo and Latino audiences together for a truly hilarious, thought-provoking
theatrical experience. Their repertoire includes both sketch comedy shows such as "The Carpa Show" and the more theatrical "The Mission" written and first performed by Culture Clash.
