Stroth began studying improvisation in the fall of 1989 at The Second City in Chicago. In 1991, Stroth began studying long-form improvisation with Del Close and Charna Halpern at what was then called Improv Olympic, now the iO Theater in Chicago. Stroth has taught, performed and directed at iO ever since.

Stroth has performed in more than 1,000 long-form shows, and has created or had a hand in creating many improv forms that are performed around the country today. Among them are the Armando, the Deconstruction, the Movie, and La Ronde. Some of the improv teams and shows of which Stroth has been a part include The Three Mad Rituals, Dynamite Fun Nest, The Armando Diaz Theatrical Experience, Zumpf, ASSSSCAT, Heather and Miles and Mud.
