A sister company to the Coal Mine Theatre, The Vault Creation Lab is a space where writers, creators and playwrights are afforded the opportunity to explore, experiment and invest in their ideas in the critical stages of development. The Vault offers playwrights and artists community and a place to train, commune, craft and grow. Welcome to The Vault.

Flora, desperate to become pregnant, travels to her homeland of Sweden to undergo an alternative fertility treatment that is “guaranteed to reproduce.” As a result of the procedure, a surprising and dangerous transformation occurs, throwing everything she thought she knew about herself and the world into question. By turns funny and moving, Reproduktion examines the ancient imperative to procreate and how to find meaning in our lives when that primal call goes unanswered.
Award-winning playwright Amy Rutherford and director Jonathon Young join forces to create an unforgettable evening in which sounds are recorded and mixed live, reproducing the play's soundscore in real time each night.
AUDIENCE EXPERIENCE: The sound experience will shift and grow nightly as the lab progresses and the creative team makes changes based on audience experience and feedback.
Fall Programming Announcement
What's cooking at The Vault this Fall?
Labs, Initiatives, Development, Training and more!
Our programming drop is coming Tuesday September 16th.
The essential purpose of
The Vault Creation Lab
is to support and prioritize the writer's journey and their creative process. Throughout their development process with The Vault, writers will have access to space, resources, audience feedback, and technical elements in order to develop and uncover the complete potential of their work. As well; our Writers' Membership will be launching in the fall of 2025.
A ground-breaking component of the The Vault will be our Public Labs (our first launched in April) . These public labs invite audiences in on a critical stage of development: when a play is ready for audience feedback and exchange. The purpose of these labs is to give the playwright a chance to test, develop and focus their work with the presence and input of a live audience.
Keep it in the Vault…
