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.

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.


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.
