The Janet and Ray Scherr Forum Theatre, located within the Bank of America Performing Arts Center, offers an intimate and refined setting for live comedy in the heart of Thousand Oaks. Opened in 1994 on the historic site of the former Jungleland USA theme park, the venue was designed by renowned architect Antoine Predock. Its club-style atmosphere provides a close-up experience for fans, making it a premier destination for nationally recognized headliners and touring acts in the Conejo Valley’s downtown core. The Scherr Forum hosts a diverse range of entertainment, from stand-up comedy and magic to chamber music and distinguished speaker series.
