Philomena Block is a Los Angeles-based actor and writer originally from the beachside town of Santa Cruz, CA. At 14, she absolutely slayed her first 10 minutes of stand-up, and has continued her brand of hilarious and heartbreaking comedy ever since.
Philomena has degrees in Musical Theatre and Psychology, and studied improv at The Groundlings. Before moving to Los Angeles, she worked as a regional theatre actor in the Bay Area and Sacramento. Favorite credits include Avenue Q (Berkeley Playhouse), Guys & Dolls (Jewel Theatre), and As You Like It (Davis Shakespeare). As a Cancer sun, she utilized her cardinal sign placement to serve as the head writer for two sketch comedy groups in NorCal. As a playwright, Philomena wrote “What is Bae?”, a modern-day sex-ed play with puppets, and co-wrote the play “SuperMa’am”, the story of a middle-aged female superhero, which won Best Script at the 2023 Big Idea One Act Play Festival.
Though she’s a theatre girly at heart, you might know her from doing sketch comedy with the former Pack team Kissyface, or from stand-up and character shows throughout the city. When not working on the stage or page, Philomena can be found sewing costumes or making puppets, staring longingly at the ocean, and posting “brave” comedy videos online.
Philomena is currently seeking theatrical and commercial representation.

A Philippine immigrant raised in Texas and now based in Los Angeles, he’s one of the Artistic Directors at The Pack Theater, where he produces and performs in hit shows with Moxie and Running with the Pack: Community Improv Night.
Cruz's blend of sharp comedy and medical mayhem has led him to consult on projects for Westbrook Media (Will & Jada Smith) and showrunner Brian Yorkey (13 Reasons Why), and earn finalist honors for NBCUniversal’s Launch program.
As a performer, he’s appeared in the feature film Vampires Suck and digital series for Funny or Die and Red Table Talk. A former Second City house performer and national touring improviser, Bryan continues to champion diverse voices and community-driven comedy through his writing, teaching, and live shows.
He’s currently repped through Prestigious Models — because apparently, being funny and saving lives still doesn’t guarantee consistent work.

Grace has been making those around her giggle since she could walk, but has most recently done so in the great city of Chicago, where she trained at iO! Comedy Theater, and performed around the city in multiple improv and sketch shows at infamous venues such as The Annoyance, The Second City, and Logan Square Improv. Grace is also a proud alum of Belmont University, where she obtained her BFA, found her love for comedy, and learned the not-so-subtle art of blending in with the Broadway Bachelorettes of Nashville.

She earned her BFA in Drama from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and has studied improv and sketch comedy at the Upright Citizen's Brigade and the Groundlings.
She has been featured on Comedy Central Digital, TruTv, WhoHaHa, and Funny or Die. She’s the face of a New Jersey printing company and a New Jersey tutoring company. So take that Bruce Springsteen!
She’s written for SketchCram at UCB and Boogiemanja at the PIT. Her feature script “The Superlatives” was a Second-Round pick at Austin Film Festival. Her worke has also been selected at Barnstorm Festival, Filmmatic Comedy Screenplay Awards, Filmmatic Horror Screenplay Awards, and others that she can’t find in her email right now.
Lilian is repped by Reign Agency (commercial) and is seeking theatrical rep.
Christian B. Schmidt is a performer and writer with the Pack Theater’s graduated sketch team "Kickball" (usually 4th Saturdays at 8PM)! Performing since 2nd grade, he continued to hone his "skills" (haha, lol, lamoo) at Cal State Long Beach as an Actor (musicals, plays, short films), Singer, Composer, and Writer.
At The Pack: "Bithole", "Lotsa Jokes", "Page One", and more! He co-hosts "Pack: After Dark", a variety show in complete darkness, with 10PM 2025 dates on 11/20 and 12/18, then Second Saturdays at 10PM starting in 2026!
Elsewhere, he composed the scores for original musicals "Tinderella: The Modern Musical" and "JFK ’n Me", with full cast albums on YouTube and Spotify! He sang three times with the National HS Honors Choir at Carnegie Hall, which somehow isn't a joke!
Schmidt loves big and unique ideas, made-up words (don’t ask about "squark"), wacky voices, kooky costumes, and what can only be described as Food Calamity.
Seeking representation.

Mikkel Simons is an actor, comedian, and voiceover performer originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and has been in Los Angeles since 2019. She holds a B.A. in Drama from San Francisco State University, an A.A. in Theatre Arts from Solano Community College, and is a proud Second City Hollywood alum.
With over 20 years (woof!) of experience working in theatre and film. Mikkel brings depth, versatility, and heart to every project. Her recent work includes indie films "The Space Between", "Society", and "Unusual Company", as well as her original solo show "#PeasantVibes"—which earned her a nomination for the Loud Karma Emerging Women and Non-Binary Playwright’s Award at the 2025 Hollywood Fringe Festival.
Whether in front of or behind the scenes, she’s passionate about creating original work and helping artists share their voices. Though performing is her first love, she wears many creative hats—writer, director, assistant director, producer—and if something needs doing, she'll adapted, "yes and" and carry on.
Mikkel performs every third Sunday at 9 p.m. with The Pack House Sketch Team "Darling" and is a company member at Theatre West. She is represented in the San Francisco theatrical, commercial and modeling markets by Marla Dell Talent and is currently seeking representation in Los Angeles for theatrical, commercial and literary.
