WPCK: Pack Theater Radio is a live “drive-time” radio program for insomniacs, overnight passengers and graveyard shift drones. A multi-media stream of consciousness assembly of a thousand tiny ideas that all weave in and out of each other and into the shadows, WPCK is what it would be like if Genesis P. Orridge had his own podcast network. WPCK is a living, breathing broadcast signal intrusion.
Hosted by lead DJ @b3oc, WPCK is housed in an isolated dilapidated radio station, somewhere just outside of New Los Angeles (a multi-verse that looks like our world but…not.) WPCK is the last telecommunication of the day right after the normal world signs off and the nocturnal world begins to move in the shadows; a pirate radio station of the Underdark.

Director: John Conroy

Come for this wonderful staged mash up that promises gut busting humor and just plain gutbusters.

Based on the long running game show Survivor and a short lived game show Legends of the Hidden Temple, we mixed those ideas with an improv jam.
The goal is to be the last one standing on stage.
People want stage time?
Well they have to Outwit, Outlast, and Outplay their fellow actors.
Shaky Alibi presents a murder mystery character sketch show! Detective Terry Bunch has one goal — to find out who committed the murder of local shopkeep darling, Mrs. Habberfield. Join him each month as he interrogates a rotating cast of suspects, each giving a questionable alibi in the form of a crazy character sketch.
Once a month, Heather Anne Campbell (Party Over Here?, Key & Peele, The Midnight Show, FOX ADHD, Adult Swim’s The Eric Andre Show, Heather & Miles) presents a trip into the darkest regions of her heart.

WPCK: Pack Theater Radio is a live “drive-time” radio program for insomniacs, overnight passengers and graveyard shift drones. A multi-media stream of consciousness assembly of a thousand tiny ideas that all weave in and out of each other and into the shadows, WPCK is what it would be like if Genesis P. Orridge had his own podcast network. WPCK is a living, breathing broadcast signal intrusion.
Hosted by lead DJ @b3oc, WPCK is housed in an isolated dilapidated radio station, somewhere just outside of New Los Angeles (a multi-verse that looks like our world but…not.) WPCK is the last telecommunication of the day right after the normal world signs off and the nocturnal world begins to move in the shadows; a pirate radio station of the Underdark.
Executive Producer/Creator: Brian James O’Connell
Director: John Conroy
Technical Director: Gerard Dean Peters
