The Pack Theater is a theatre based in Los Angeles, California, specializing in improv and sketch comedy. In addition, the theatre operates a school for developing improv and comedy talent.
The Pack Theater grew out of the Miles Stroth Workshop, "focused on advanced training for improv comedians."[1][2] Miles Stroth, a former student of Del Close, founded the workshop in 2007 after leaving his teaching job at iO West.[3] He spun the workshop into a theatre working from a 50-seat black box in 2016.[4]
For each of its first four years, 2016–19, the Pack has hosted its own comedy festival, Pack Con.[5] Pack Con performers have included Bob Odenkirk, Adam McKay, and The Whitest Kids U Know.[1]
