Less than a five minute walk from STAK Space, Pan Theater has been a cornerstone of Oakland’s improv scene since 2002, offering classes that range from playful comedy to deeply emotional performance. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced performer, Pan provides a welcoming space to explore the art of unscripted theater, making it a perfect complement to the creative energy of downtown Oakland. Our taproom at the nearby 1900 Broadway Tower will make for an exquisite happy hour or post-show gathering.
