Freedom. Fearless. Family. \nThe Pack is a comedy theater and school that is home to some of the wildest\, most innovative comedies anywhere. We offer shows seven nights a week and classes year-round. We are named the Pack because we are a family of hungry\, ballsy\, passionate artists. Our unapologetically bold performers and students are encouraged to take risks and develop their unique comedy voices because at the Pack we believe comedy should be inventive and always evolving. The Pack Theater was founded by Miles Stroth (The Family\, Heather & Miles) in 2007 as the Miles Stroth Workshop\, and subsequently evolved into a den of viscerally exciting\, unexpected\, and original comedy. \n \nDuring the Covid-19 pandemic\, The Pack Theater was unable to offer our normal classes which would meet at our theater and class spaces in Hollywood\, CA. As conditions have changed and improved\, we are now once again offering In-Person classes. \nSome classes will still be offered Online.

Saint Ignatius Loyola\, the founder of the Society of Jesus\, sanctioned the foundation of his order’s first school in 1548. The Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary have conducted educational institutions since their establishment in France in 1849 by Father Jean Gailhac. These two traditions of education have come together in Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount University. \n \nLoyola Marymount University offers rigorous undergraduate\, graduate\, and professional programs to academically ambitious students committed to lives of meaning and purpose. We benefit from our location in Los Angeles\, a dynamic city that brings into sharp focus the issues of our time and provides an ideal context for study\, research\, creative work\, and active engagement. By intention and philosophy\, we invite men and women diverse in talents\, interests\, and cultural backgrounds to enrich our educational community and advance our mission: \n\nThe encouragement of learning\nThe education of the whole person\nThe service of faith and the promotion of justice\n\nThe University is institutionally committed to Roman Catholicism and takes its fundamental inspiration from the combined heritage of the Jesuits\, the Marymount Sisters\, and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange. This Catholic identity and religious heritage distinguish LMU from other universities and provide touchstones for understanding our threefold mission. \n\nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \ncfa.lmu.edu/programs/theatrearts/shakespeareonthebluff\n \n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
